Pause: A Month of Prayer in Five Minutes a Dayಮಾದರಿ

Proclaim

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.” (Phil. 4:6)

Prompt

Have you ever used bookends? Better yet, have you ever tried to keep books on a shelf looking good without bookends?

Bookends hold things together. They keep things orderly and prevent them from collapsing.

This is why I so heartily recommend bookending your day with morning and evening prayer. By starting and ending on your knees, you’re putting bookends in place to keep your world, life, and everything neat, orderly, and chaos-free.

How are your “bookends”?

Prod

Have you incorporated morning and evening prayer into your daily routine? What sort of results are you seeing with your current routine?

Pray

Jesus, help me always turn to you in times of need and even when I don’t need anything. I want to breathe you in and breathe you out. Help me develop strong spiritual rhythms where I can meet with you each day. Because I always need you. Amen.
