To keep my mind from straying when I pray, I write out my prayers on index cards (with a verse) and attach it to a poster or bulletin board. I have divided my poster board into Praise/thanks/confession/request. I then pray these in the closet with the door closed. It has made all the difference and I can see how He has blessed!
I am in such a place on my journey that the first few minutes this video completely wrecked me and met me RIGHT where I am. Maybe this will be the start of finding my way back.
I am absolutely, positively not a Calvinist, but I have learned a great deal from this man. Proof positive that doctrinal differences, aside from the Gospel message, are best set aside in the interim.
Sam Ogilvie, Having doctrinal differences cause rift between believers is the work of the devil. Unless someone is speaking heresy it is best to let differences be put aside
Pastor Keller thank you so much for this message. I have been a believer since I was 9 years old however, prayer became burdensome chore for me .... I forgot the part of adoration... I skip the most important part of prayer. I need to reminded myself who God is and that is how I enjoy my amazing Father. As soon as I did that everything finds its place. Thank you for your ministry and serve once gain and be healthy and safe.
Jackie Uzoh My grandmother, whom I never knew, is said to have compared chewing gum to a cow chewing her cud.(sp?) I read a critique of people from the States by a Spaniard. He compared us to fish in an aquarium.
scott banta, I would say it depends on your heart and your reasoning behind the prayer. Anything can become rote, from the Lord's prayer, saying a pledge, to telling your family you love them. If your heart is in it, then it is meaningful. If not, then it can certainly become vain and powerless.
Oh he's so funny. Knows it all. Read Flannery O'Connor's short stories to learn more about God, yourself, and redemption. It's real truth telling, not manufactured sermonizing.

Keller's book on Prayer, Intimacy and Awe with God is one of my favorite books. This talk is covered in his book.

Ah, thanks for the recommendation!
This man is incredible. Thank you.
Beautiful as he often is. Supplication should be no 2 of 6 in the list.
A message to the interviewer in the Q&A part; LOSE THE GUM!!
Yes!
I was so distracted by that!! I couldn’t believe it
Great talk but someone should tell the person interviewing keller not to chew a big wad of gum...
Miguel Romano very distracting! Gum.
It could swelling from his thyroid cancer or related issues
Jackie Uzoh My grandmother, whom I never knew, is said to have compared chewing gum to a cow chewing her cud.(sp?) I read a critique of people from the States by a Spaniard. He compared us to fish in an aquarium.
Very disrespectful!
I came up with an A word for his fifth point, "Advancing" Prayer.
What about Agency !
Disrespect is chewing gum while interviewing someone.
Who is the chewing gum ...spitt it out .
Wonderful message. I've never seen anyone interview while chewing gum; interesting.
Very annoying.
A pastor's pastor.
I understand that a number of experimental studies on the efficacy of prayer have in the past been carried out-with disappointing results.
So Edward...get off the screen NOW and pray for a while...God bless you now in June 2023...

Continue with your prayers. Good Luck.
Is repeating someone else's prayer over and over again, regardless of who that original prayor was, considered to be "vain repetition"?

Keller is all 'bout that Roman Catholic Mysticism.
@@michaeldirrim2361 Explain..
Keller is a good source of wisdom to be sure. But that man is aggressively chewing on that gum!
Maybe's he's related to Chewbacca? Ha, sorry bad one. He's chewing down on the truth perhaps. Ok I'll stop.
Maybe he's trying to quit smoking
I am truly sorry, but I don't think that Mary deserves worship, she is not God. She is a creation and I will never worship her. Only God.
Does anyone speak of worshiping Mary? Catholics speak of honoring/venerating Mary! So?
When he talks about adoration, he means adore God not Mary. Only God deserves our adoration.
There is no need to venerate or adore her either. There are 5-6 verses in the whole Bible about her. Which of those call for either?
Max Strange - so Mary - full of Grace, mother of Jesus - is a nobody?
That's the prayer he taught his disciples. Not the Lord's Prayer
I could not watch that Q&A because of that distracting and utterly disrespectful gum-chewing man.
Gum chewing is often a byproduct of anxiety, not a poor posture of heart.
Notch filter...

Praying that you will read scriptures more rather than your natural inclination.
