W is for What?

What do I believe?
I was thinking about this question the other day.
When I was about 20 I had a lot of beliefs, or opinions, on things. Over the past few years, a lot of those beliefs have left me. Strange, but I don’t miss them at all.
Here is a belief I have gained.
Prayer is a gift from God.
I don’t think I can truly pray to God unless he gives me words to speak. Without the working of the Holy Spirit in me, I could not pray. I could not ask Him for anything; I could not praise Him for anything; I could not cry to Him in my distress; I could not talk with Him.
There are times when I can pray, and there are times when I cannot. I have noticed that those times I can pray are the times when I have a faith and trust in God. When I have no faith, I cannot pray.
I believe prayer comes from faith, which is a gift of God.
