When You Don't Have Time to Pray


“I don’t have time to pray today.” 

Yep, I said this. Out loud. 

Once a month I meet with other women to pray for our adult children. We’ve been gathering for seven years. Today was the day. 

But this morning, I didn’t have time to pray.

  1. Wonderful thoughts Ms. Lori. While I can't claim to sit down at one time (usually early each morning before my day starts) and pray out everything I need to pray about. I do sit that time aside for God. I pray during my "God time" each morning, but I'm finding that I spend more time in prayer as I go about my day. Driving to town... pray. Feeding the livestock... pray. Pausing to down a cup of coffee before the next teleconference, meeting, or writing assignment... pray. It seems that as my day progresses, I find new things to pray about. I bet you to also ma'am.

    1. I agree, J.D., which , I think, is what Scripture means when it says, "Pray without ceasing." Prayer is supposed to be an ongoing conversation that never ends, all day, every day. Pray on, friend!

  2. My day is truly much more at ease and peaceful when I share time with Him first. :-)

  3. I agree, Melissa. I had a friend once say, "I don't think the circumstances of my day would have changed if I hadn't skipped my prayer time this morning, but I think I would have handled them better." Thanks for sharing your thoughts :)
