Blake Robert Templeton says men often pray like beggars: weak, fearful, distant. He traces this to avoiding emotional vulnerability. His fix: start with gratitude, make confident requests, end with Scripture. Repeat it until prayer feels natural.
A lot of men talk to God like beggars. Weak, fearful, distant. But sons speak differently. Stop praying nervous prayers. You pray a nervous prayer because you haven't been emotionally vulnerable in a while. So practice being emotional and vulnerable and you'll have confidence in your prayers. Pray with gratitude first. Pray confident second. Then pray scripture third. Confidence will grow in your relationship as you pray.
