Book of Common Prayer

My wife and I have tried using the Book of Common Prayer. I heard and bought it because of another class, but had never really used it. I have likes and dislikes about it. One dislike, which my wife shares, is that it can seem wooden and forced. It can be hard to enter into a heart set fully upon God. However, the language is beautiful and the prayer book helps guide prayer about particular things I would not normally prayer about, such as our government and people traveling.
