why is it so hard to pray?

Why do Christians find it hard to pray?

I think prayer is not given the importance it deserves. When a church has a prayer meeting a fraction (often between 3-10) of its members turn up. Why is praying as a group such a problem in the minds of so many?

If we want the world to see Jesus, then as a church we need to pray, if not then the church will continue to decline - its guaranteed! Missions, evangelistic events, creative ministry, reflective services are all fine and good, but unless God is at work and we are working through prayer then they will have only little/local effect.

Prayer is the key, that is hanging in reach, but no one is prepared to try in the lock.

The question we must ask ourselves is why?
