Learner’s Permits And Their Effect On Prayer

My oldest daughter passed her test for her learner’s permit the other day, so she is now able to legally drive. The learner’s permits are just as ugly as the driver’s license (see my thoughts here). Anyway, the only driving she has done so far is in a straight line a mile or so down a gravel road and turning into a driveway. She has done this a few times.

We were getting ready to head out to church this morning, so I asked if she wanted to drive to church. She did, and this was her first experience with stop signs, stop lights, parked cars, curbs, and traffic in general. She did a pretty good job for her first time. She’ll be taking driver’s ed this summer, and we just want to get her ready for that.

All I can tell you is if you are having trouble with your prayer life, just get in the car with a new driver. It will break you out of your rut in no time.
