Prayer, why is it so difficult?

1 Thessalonians 5:17 "pray without ceasing,"

Before any critics start blasting my blog, let me explain that I am not proclaiming anything. I am not a professional anything. I'm not blogging on how to pray. I have no expert advice. What I have is my personal experiences. My personal struggles. My personal questions. I will be honest and truthful. I will be open and revealing. 

Some facts about me:

I'm a child of God, I have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, the son of the Holy Father of this universe. I believe in the Holy Trinity, Father, Son, Holy Spirit.

I'm a wife, mother, grandmother.

I'm a human being.
