Yancey: Tongue-Tied

Yancey observes that we face numerous obstacles to our prayers. We are sometimes blocked by our feelings of unworthiness, drawn away by distractions, hindered by our need to "do it right."

Yancey looks to Jesus' teaching in his model prayer, the Lord's prayer, and believes that Jesus' teaching can be reduced to three principles: "Keep it honest, keep it simple, and keep it up."
