Georgge Buttrick

In my personal prayer life I am too formless. A strategy to fix that would be to keep lists of things i'm thankful for, I struggle with, people, and situations so I can stay on task while in prayer. Buttrick's guide-map of prayer will really help to keep me focused as well. Prayer is one of the things in my walk with Christ that I struggle with the most. This excerpt reminded me how to pray. It had some ideas that will help me out greatly in my relationship with God. But as I go along with this new plan, I will have to be careful not to go to the opposite side of the spectrum that i'm on now. It will take effort to keep a healthy balance between giving my prayers form and not getting too formal.
