Day 225. What can hinder your regular prayers?

Today is day 225 and we are studying A Rule of Prayer: Scripture, Prayer, and Worship.

225. What can hinder your regular prayers?

My prayers may be hindered by many things, such as lethargy or loss, selfishness or sin, distractions or difficulties, or seasons of spiritual dryness. With God’s help, a rule of prayer strengthens me to overcome all these. (1 Kings 19:1–18; Psalm 116; Matthew 26:36–46; Luke 20:45–47; Romans 8:22–27)

We will conclude today with the Collect for The Fourth Sunday in Advent found on page 599 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).
