Awaken Church

Prayer often feels difficult not because of lack of access to God, but because of interference that blocks our connection. Three main barriers create this interference: distractions that crowd out space for God, doubts that whisper lies about His care, and shame that keeps us hiding instead of approaching His throne of grace. Jesus has already opened the door to God's presence through His sacrifice, giving us 24/7 access to the Father. The solution involves intentionally making space by removing distractions, silencing doubts by asking God where He is working, and running to grace instead of hiding in shame. When we address these barriers, prayer becomes the simple, honest conversation with God it was meant to be.
