As I think about this question I realize that it should be the same as asking how is your life. After all we are told to pray without ceasing. However, there is a check list for us:
1. Have you taken time to find out the will of God in a matter of prayer or are we trying to change God’s mind?
2. Have we really learned the secret of praying through?
3. Are we concerned about God’s reputation?
4. Do we view our sin as a sin against a Holy God or are we concerned about the social context of our prayers?
5. Do we ever see a tension between God’s written truth and the world around us?
6. Have we ever tried to bargain with God in prayer?
7. Have we ever felt silenced in the presence of God? Have we ever just covered our mouth?
8. Do we see prayer in a narrow confines of talking with God or do we see prayer in all our worship?
9. How do we pray for others? Do we give thanks for other people? Are we concerned about their spiritual well-being?
10. Have we learned to pray forgiveness prayers? Is there someone who we must forgive?
