Reflection by Matthew Kelly, founder of the Dynamic Catholic Institute
Prayers is central to the Christian experience. A Christian life is not sustainable without it, because growth in the Christian life is simply not possible without prayer. Growing in character & virtue, learning to hear the voice of God in our lives & walking where He calls us—all require the discipline of prayer. And it is not enough simply to pray when we feel like it. Prayer requires a daily commitment. Get to know the Shepherd. Stop trying to put together a master plan for your life & for your happiness. Instead, seek out the Master's plan for your life & for your happiness. Allow Him to lead you, to guide you, to be your companion, your friend, your coach, & your mentor. He will lead you to green pastures. He will restore your soul. And your cup will overflow.
