I grew up thinking of prayer mainly as bringing our requests before God. It could feel a little like the old story of the kid going up to bed who said, “I’m going to pray now. Does anybody want anything?” As if God were Santa Claus. That may be part of prayer—I think God wants to hear the desires of our hearts, our anxieties and hopes—but I’ve also come to see that prayer is not just about trying to get God to do what we want God to do. It is just as much about getting ourselves to do what God wants us to do, and training ourselves to be the kind of people God wants us to be.
