Do you know how to run? I don’t mean you are a marathoner or anything like that. I just mean, if you were being chased by a bear or a zombie or a clown, would you be able to run?
Do you remember learning how to run? Did you take running lessons to be able to put one foot in front of the other in rapid succession? I’ll bet you don’t remember the first time you ran. It’s one of those abilities that most people just know how to do. Obviously we have to learn how to run. And before that we have to learn how to walk, and before that crawl, and before that roll over. But even before kindergarten, most of us have running down pat.
Now, how about prayer? Do you know how to pray? Has it become one of those things that you just know how to do. Some people I know have told me they don’t know how to pray, and I think “How can anybody not know how to pray?” I think praying is definitely easier than running–and definitely more rewarding.
How about you. Can you pray? Would you like to?
PS. Sorry about the sound quality of this one. It’s pretty bad.
