The most natural "imbalance" that we live with - like it or not - is our sex. And with that built-in, God-given gender comes natural tendencies.
Watch the video and then we can talk:
Now apply that to prayer!
What does a guy tend towards? Walks in, kneels down, opens up the "God-box," talks to God, closes the box, and walks out. Life doesn't change.
What does the gal tend towards? Walks in, kneels down, opens up, pours out all of her heart and soul - feelings, happenings, baby, diapers, job, difficulties, joys, family, studies etc., etc - gets up and feels better, and life continues as if nothing had happened. The only difference being that she is emotionally relieved.
Now obviously these are the extremes. What's the middle road, the fine line along which we should be balancing?
The point of prayer is change. Change of our whole being. Guys need to learn to open up ALL the boxes in prayer, and gals need to learn to make decisions that change them for the better.
That's my take. What do you think? Ever happen to you?
God Bless, Father Nathan
