I am really enjoying a little book on prayer by Ken Wilson.1 He indicates one hinderance to praying is believing it is for a certain few experts. Ken’s point is that there are no prayer experts.

“There are experts in flying airplanes and writing computer software and baking desserts. There are no experts in prayer, because prayer involves the engagement of two personal beings, one of which transcends every category of being: God.
For prayer of this sort, there are only witness — small voices conveying limited perspectives subject to all the human frailties that affect truth telling.
With these caveats, let’s dive in before we lose our nerve.”
Reminds me of my Seminary professor, Dr. Thomas A. Carruth, who in his course on prayer mostly just had us pair off and start praying.

I agree with you. There are no experts in prayer 🙂
Thanks for your comment. We are all students, not experts, in the school of prayer.
