It is important to be consistent in the times that we pray, that I should try to pray at the same time each day. As a Benedictine I am blessed with the opportunity to pray regularly with the daily office, I set aside time to pray the offices each day so I use these times as a way of leading into more contemplative prayer and intercessory prayer. It can be hard to maintain this routine but by the grace of God I manage it most days. I try to dedicate my day to prayer. I am called to this life. I am being intentional in my life of prayer of my time with God. Making sure that I am open to listen to him is essential. I must enter into these times fully prepared.
