*One small word of counsel on prayer:

Healthy prayer necessitates frequent experiences of the common, earthy ordinary life. 

Like walks, and talks, and good conversations. 

Like work in the yard and talks with neighbours and washing windows. 

Like loving our spouse and playing with our kids and working with our colleagues. 

To be spiritually fit to scale the Himalayas of the spirit we need regular exercise in the hills and valleys of ordinary life.. 

Husbands, likewise, dwell with them with understanding, giving honor to the wife, as to the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life, that your prayers may not be hindered. I Peter 3:7 

Therefore if you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift. Matthew 5:23‭-‬24 

And forgive us our debts, As we forgive our debtors. Matthew 6:12 

And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses. Mark 11:25
