As we have looked at prayer these last weeks we have learned that we should keep it short, keep it real, and keep it up. Keeping it real may be one of the hardest shifts for us to make. The narratives, the stories we tell ourselves, about prayer and the God we pray to, may be an issue. We may have been formed to believe that we need to be good, active, and right in prayer and that we need to prove our worth. Those are false narratives. We need to learn God's narratives about prayer, that we should be honest, present, and known in prayer, and that it is in prayer that we receive our worth. When we can shift from our false narratives to God's true narratives we will be able to keep our prayer real.
