One of the hardest things for most people to do is to establish a daily time for prayer and meditation. Throughout my ministry, this has been a struggle for me as a pastor. I tend to go through times of feast--and times of famine.
If you are reading this blog, that indicates that you are more than likely computer literate. You probably spend more than a few minutes at your computer each day. I would like to suggest that you check out a site called SacredSpace.org. This site is run the the Jesuits in Ireland. Lest you get confused, I am United Methodist. However, when it comes to spirituality and prayer, you can't beat the Jesuits, so I heartily recommend this site.
Sitting in front of your computer, you can, in about 10-15 minutes, work through a time of prayer that will help you examine your thoughts and actions and encourage you to ponder a passage of Scripture to see what God is saying to you.
More than likely, some of those reading this have an i-pod or mp3 player. If you are an on the go type of person, the Irish Jesuits have just started a daily prayer guide in audio format that you can listen to anywhere you might have your i-pod or mp3 player. The site is called Pray-As-You-Go.org at this site you can download and listen to these audio prayer guides. Five new guides are published each week. Best of all, it is FREE! You can support the site with a donation if you so desire, but it's not required.
Check out these prayer aids. I believe your prayer life will get stronger.
