Where Do You Pray?

The title of this posting might sound inconsequential; however, it can have us look at not only where we pray but also how often we pray.

When I pray in the morning, I have a set place in my living room following breakfast where I read Scripture and have that followed by prayer. I feel most comfortable there.

Having a designated place at home for prayer might help you to concentrate and focus your thoughts. You might consider that where you are is a "sacred place."

We also know that it doesn't matter where we pray. Our prayers will still be heard by God. But knowing that we are free to pray anywhere, the question is: How spontaneous are you with your praying? Do you feel that you have to wait until the end of the day to pray for a pressing concern that developed that day? Do you feel that you can give thanks on the spot when you have received a blessing?

Are you willing to pray in the car (not driving, of course) or just out for a walk?

The main thing is that in prayer you feel connected to God throughout the day.
