Not what I wish were in me....

Pete Wilson on his blog:

I’m finishing up John Ortbergs latest book The Me I Want to Be and he’s got a great chapter on prayer. He says this,

When I pray, I end up praying about things I think I should be concerned about: missionaries, world peace and global warming. But my mind keeps wandering toward stuff I am genuinely concerned about. The way to let my talking flow into praying is this: I must pray what is in me, not what I wish were in me.

I love that. I might have discovered a prayer breakthrough.
