'I'm hugely looking forward to being with you at the CMF National Conference. I'm married to a doctor. In fact, I'm the son of a doctor and the father of a doctor. So I'm very conscious that the medical profession in general, and perhaps Christians in particular, are under immense pressure at the moment. I'm thrilled that our theme will be 'Rediscovering Prayer'.
I guess many of us struggle with prayer the reasons are familiar: we're very busy and stressed, we're often disappointed that prayers we've prayed in the past haven't been answered as we'd hoped, and we're confused about what we're supposed to be praying for. It was a great discovery for me to find that when Jesus' disciples asked for help he actually taught them about God. I'm convinced that the best place to start is with the Lord's Prayer. I hope you can join us.'
