I cannot\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003epossibly count the number of times I have renewed\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003emy vow to God, which includes making a fresh\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ecommitment to pray regularly. However, it seemed\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eto me that no matter how hard I tried to seek the\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLord in prayer, the more I gave up after a short\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ewhile.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI know that I am not alone by far.
