‘Oldie-but-goodie’ is right. Seven reasons for hindered prayer. Pick the ones that most speak to you, but they all will. For me one is the un-prayed prayer. What a waste in allowing this. Philip lists the many distractions we permit, and I was pleased I couldn’t claim any of them! And yet, still be guilty of the un-prayed prayer! He also mentioned, why stew about something when you could just take it to God in prayer. Christ emphasized, “why don’t you ask!” Listening to this sermon, prompts us to make a mental list of all the things we so need to work on.
