Mike really opened me up to these thoughts. Man, I used to heap so much condemnation upon myself for lack of prayer time and lack of "quality" prayer! I'm so much more freed up now to just be myself and to have more of an ongoing casual prayer life rather than making a duty out of it. And the more intense, more focused times of prayer are far more meaningful, because I know I'm not trying to set any spiritual records.
