#1 During a miscarriage, I prayed Compline, the night prayer service, in the middle of the night at the hospital. I was trying to pray, but couldn’t drum up words.

#2 Prayer is the most important practice of the Christian faith. It is not about self-expression, but about entering into a relationship with God.

#3 Prayer is a craft that we can all participate in, even if we don’t feel like it. It shapes us and changes who we are, and it is a gift that we can’t control.

#4 I was a priest who couldn’t pray. I was homesick, and the pain of losing my dad was seismic. I was pregnant again, but the pregnancy became complicated. I was put on medically restricted activity. I couldn’t stand for long periods, walk more than a couple blocks, or lift anything above ten pounds.
