Driven To Prayer

As we walk through our life in relationship to God we often find our prayer life experiencing different seasons. For a time we pray earnestly and frequently; other times we discover days have passed without time spent with God, or our prayers have simply become hollow and routine. When we read the bible though, we discover that God’s people were driven to prayer regularly, for many reasons. And that their prayer took on unique qualities and meaning at different times. What drives God’s people to prayer? What *should* drive us to prayer? And how might our prayers be increasing not only in frequency, but in many other ways as well?
