We all have our reasons for why we don't get around to praying. Busyness is probably cited as the number one reason. I'm too busy! Jesus was busy. Martin Luther was busy. Countless numbers of Christians throughout history have been busy, and probably, busier than any of us. If we are honest, we use our busyness as an excuse. In this episode, I try to gently convince you that no matter how busy you are, making time for regular prayer is very doable. It might not be easy, but it's not impossible.
