Moreover, as for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the Lord by ceasing to pray for you; but I will instruct you in the good and right way.Prayer is something I've never been good at. I don't know if it's my ADD, or just natural laziness or wariness, but I have never been able to pray for any length of time. I find myself drifting off down mental blind alleys, and feel terribly guilty about it. So I generally don't pray much, because I feel I can't do it "properly."
I also am not very consistent about praying for people; most of my prayers are self-centered. Then I read a verse like this, where Samuel is saying that it is a sin not to pray for people. Again, I realize I'm not doing it right, and that I need to change. Instructing I can do, and am halfway good at. But I now realize that I need to begin focusing more once again on praying for others, however I am able and whatever small chunks I need to break it into.
