It's so true what you ...Thanks for you comment.<br />It's so true what you say. The key issue for most of us is that we do not set aside time for prayer and give it a priority OR we do not remember God while we are doing our work throughout the day OR both. I guess we may think if we do take time for prayer we are being lazy? That this time is "unproductive?" I too have struggled with this throughout my life. It takes strong discipline as the forces are strong to discourage us from prayer.Fr Dn Charles Joinerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06402529668011722050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1382810614574791176.post-36376528080605348982009-06-23T12:13:09.710-04:002009-06-23T12:13:09.710-04:00I suspect that more people have a problem with too...I suspect that more people have a problem with too much work these days rather than too much prayer.<br /><br />My wife and I used to consider ourselves lazy and morally corrupt because of it. But we sat down one evening to think of all the work we do and while it's true we protrastinate on an odd unpleasant job here or there we are not lazy.<br /><br />However, we definitely don't pray enough.<br /><br />Thanks for your great posts recently (I came a across your blog not too long ago).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10853210342855324621noreply@blogger.com
