Progression from learning vocabulary and grammar to praying our particular life

In the podcast episode, the speaker discusses the progression in prayer from learning vocabulary and grammar to praying our particular life. Just as a child starts by learning words and phrases from their parents, we begin our prayer journey by reciting pre-made prayers such as the Lord's Prayer. However, the goal is to move beyond recitation and engage in more personal and authentic conversations with God, sharing our thoughts, desires, and even doubts.
