Wrap-up Discussion

The common danger we face … is getting so absorbed in daily life that we simply fail to show up. Any visitor to a Muslim country can see the difference. Five times a day, when the call to prayer goes out, all work and commerce stops, buses and trains empty, and faithful Muslims roll out a prayer rug, bowing low to say their prayers. Christians have no such ritual to stop and remember God. It’s up to us.

Prayer, p. 182

What are some of the things that make prayer work for you? What type of setting do you find best for regular communication with God? What time of day works best for you and why? How beneficial to your communion with God is it to have inner conversations with God all day long?

Ideas you come up with may include:

• Setting aside at least one specific time each day for prayer

• Creating an environment for prayer — perhaps lighting a candle or playing music in the background while you pray

• Discovering a specific place that stimulates you to pray — an outdoor garden, a quiet corner in your local library, a particular chair in your home, sitting in your car during your lunch break

• Meditating on how God must feel about the issues and people for whom you pray

• Daily reviewing with God what happened in your life that day

• Identifying reminders that encourage you to pray continually
