Some of us are borderline “ADD” as Christians. We blame our lack of focus on being “ADD.”
Maybe what we mean to say is this 1 short sentence that WRECKED me to the core from my journal:
“When you are praying for what YOU REALLY WANT you will not be distracted.” –Herbert McCabe
Ouch. Do I really desire what GOD wants? Am I praying according to HIS will? Am I really begging HIM to SHOW UP?
“Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.” [James 5.16]

“Ouch” is right! And we’re all ADD when it comes to prayer … we want to ADD our own desires to God’s plan.
