I think prayer is hard. I also think that we give up on prayer all too easily. If we really had a concern for people like Paul and Epaphras we would pray unceasingly even when we didn't feel like it. WE would struggle and wrestle and cry and pray even when we were exhausted. I would call that wrestling in prayer and that would be what it may look like in practice. The next question is why don't we do it more? Because we are lazy and sometimes doubt the power of prayer. That is the short answer. (I'll call that the blog answer) Thanks Ed.
