More Prayer, More Unity

So yesterday, a bunch of us gathered and prayed for an hour or so. There was no agenda, other than the fact that we were not watching a movie, as we normally do on Saturday nights. We prayed about love and hate, doubt and faith, the world, and ourselves. We gave thanks, and we asked for forgiveness. Everyone agreed at the end that this was a good thing, and we were glad we did this. Why then, is it so hard for things like this to happen more often? I know a few reasons why corporate prayer doesn't happen except at the predetermined times I make for it. I don't want it to be that way though. I want God to rest where I am, and I can see no better way for that to happen then when I and other believers are gathered to together, talking to God.

A side note: I don't intend for this to be a theology blog where I discuss random points of the Christian faith. Blogs like Resurgence and Pyromaniacs do that way better (although they've been skimping on new content lately; you're more likely to find a sermon by Edwards or Spurgeon on either site than anything that fits into my Internet reading attention span). I just want to talk about what's going on in my life, when I feel like it. If I just talk about God and things relating to Him, I suppose that's a good thing in the long run. It means that I'm at least thinking about my faith regularly, even if I don't act very faithful.
