Where does prayer fit in my life?<\/p>\n
If I eat three meals a day, prayer fits into a brief time slot (half a minute, at most?) before each.<\/p>\n
Before I go to sleep at night, prayer often fills in two to four minutes.<\/p>\n
Many mornings I pray while I walk down and up our one-tenth-mile-on-the-hill driveway; call it five, maybe eight, minutes.<\/p>\n
Otherwise I may pray in fits and starts, bits and pieces, through the day.<\/p>\n
Rarely (as in, would I need all my thumbs to count?) do I do this:<\/p>\n
“And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed”<\/font><\/b> (Mark 1:35).<\/p>\n Why did Jesus do that?<\/p>\n And why do I<\/i> pray?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Where does prayer fit in my life?
