Praying in the Messiness of Life

Many Christians think they can grow closer to God if they just try harder. They get up earlier to pray, join a prayer group, read the latest spiritual book, or go on a retreat. But rather than feeling closer to God, they find themselves unfulfilled, frustrated with traditional prayer methods, unable to relate to God in the midst of their busy lives.*Praying in the Messiness of Life** suggests fresh ideas for weaving prayer into each day instead of simply making more time for prayer.
