Prayer Series Part 1 : Making and taking time to Pray

Sometimes life becomes just one thing after another, it piles on and becomes unbearable. We jump out of bed not nearly getting enough sleep, slam that snooze button a few times, and wake up as zombies. After that we are constantly on the run worry about anything and everything. We are either taking care of our families (Im not to the that point yet), finishing a project for work that is past the deadline, or having one of those cram study sessions. The day becomes a complete blur, it all is lost. Life becomes meaningless. We need regular prayer!!! Those who are Anglican know in the Prayer book their are morning and evening (and even midday) prayer time in the prayer book. However for those who are reading this blog and are not Anglicans but Christians none the less can set up prayer times as well. Christ tells us to pray unceasingly through our every though word and deed. Not many people practice prayer as a spiritual discipline anymore. It is good sometimes to pray about what is on your mind as a conversation, but it is also good at times to say set prayers as the way we worship helps to form us. Prayer as a routine and life,  something we stop and do at a regular basis, gradually we begin to grow in understanding and fellowship with God the more we pray. We don't pray to God at regular times to win him over or to be holier than someone else. but to grow in our relationship with God, our trust in him, and in fellowship with him. You cant have a relationship if you never talk to them.
