Probably the most important relationship in our life is our relationship with God, and we are building that through prayer. Prayer is real — it’s for everyone, but we know that prayer is not always easy. Sometimes it can even be really hard.
Growing in relationship with God is a journey, there are ups and downs along with some twists and turns. There are good days when you just feel really close to God — days when you feel that you can hear the voice of God and there’s so much joy, peace and consolation that goes into that. But in some days, there may be a lot of struggles where we feel far away from God.
This episode talks about what happens when prayer is hard and how we go about it. It also serves as an encouragement to be more aware of what’s happening in our hearts when we pray.

Up there, we are invited to embrace the experience and the beauty of childlike wonder and awe. It’s a place of intimacy with and revelation of God. But the challenge as we go up the mountain is to let go of things…

The Rich Man Who Didn’t Turn
St. Francis is the rich young man who didn’t turn away sad. God invited St. Francis, and his response was even more than his heart burning for the Lord — he was consumed. There was no going back. He became more like Jesus, but without being less like Francis. He became more like Francis; not losing himself in God, but finding himself in God.
