1. formal
2. constant
3. quiet time
each is very important.
Formal Prayer is prayers that are done in community. Catholics have daily mass and the liturgy of the hours. (even though though the liturgy of the hours is often done by oneself, you know that many others are praying those same prayers. I would be interested in hearing about your formal prayers
Constant prayer was mentioned in my first post. Since GOD is always with us we can talk with HIM any time. As much as possible, we need to be aware of HIS constant presence. There are many many times to talk with HIM during the day:
Standing in line at the bank or store
Driving
cooking
cleaning
bathing
doing a mindless task at work
anytime your mind doesn't have to be engaged in something else
Quiet time. If at all possible scedule yourself at least 10 minutes to sit quietly with GOD and allow HIM to talk to you. It is good to take a short scripture and meditate on it.
Please share your prayer experiences with us!!
