Matthew Kelly asks, "Can you set aside 10 minutes a day for prayer?"
In the same spot? How would that change you? What would get in your way? Is this something that can help you become the best version of yourself?
(Questions from his Decision Point program - session 4 - The Prayer Process)
Can we set aside 10 minutes a day for prayer? We can and we should.
We have our cup of coffee, we may read the paper, we watch the news or our favorite show. We make sure we are in front of that TV at just the right time to catch the newest episode or our sports show. We make sure we are on time for work. We make sure we get to school and sports activities. We just need to make sure we "get to" prayer.
There is so much hustle and bustle in our lives that we need to "get to". Do we? Do we need to watch TV now? Do we need to get to that event?
We have to answer these questions everyday. If and when we choose the 10 minutes a day to pray we find peace and peace leads to happiness and happiness leads to less stress.
We hear all the time that we need to find time for ourselves - when you find time for yourself, invite God in.
Mother Mary, pray for us so that we find a time for prayer. AMEN
