Letting the Holy Spirit Lead Prayer

 Lord, the harder I try to pray, the farther away from you I feel.  I often come to you in prayer with unrealistic expectations as to what kind of result or emotion I will get out of it.  Give me the faith to quietly surrender to you and trust that you are with me, communicating with my heart, even when it may not feel that way.  Give me the grace to release my anxieties and fears and let the Holy Spirit be my guide.
