God loves variety. Think about that. We are all different, all unique and all shaped for a purpose. Part of our purpose is to utilize our talents and gifts. Did you listen to what God had to say yesterday? (Don't worry if you didn't hear anything in just one day. God has a different time table than we do, not to mention that many of us aren't such good listeners.)
There is variety in prayer as well. Formal prayer, casual prayer, conversational prayer, accidental prayer...
No, that's not a typo. Accidental prayer. You know, where you make an off-hand remark about needing a change or a sign or a something and God hears it and decides to act on it.
It happens. I'm willing to bet we've all been there. Some days accidental prayer is my only conversation point with God.
What we need in our lives is more deliberate prayer. How can you accomplish deliberate prayer and incorporate it into your daily life so that it becomes part of your routine? A prayer is a conversation between you and God. This conversation is most beneficial to all if it occurs on a regular basis.
We aren't all disciplined enough to get up earlier to pray for 15 minutes. I know. I've tried. The snooze button is always right there, under my fingers and so tempting.
Over the next couple of days, we'll look at some ways to carve out space in our lives and make room for deliberate, daily prayer. Are you up for the challenge?
While we're at it, stop what you are doing right now and say a prayer.
