Prayer can be like breathing—regular, easy, second-nature—and we can pray our way through life as part of the way we live. In fact, just as our physical lives are sustained by breathing, our spiritual lives should be maintained by praying. We can pray out loud or we can pray silently. We can pray sitting down, standing up, or lying on the floor. We can pray while we are moving or while we are being still. We can pray while we are shopping, waiting for an appointment, participating in a business meeting, doing household chores, driving, or taking a shower.
These are good times to offer prayers of thanksgiving. We can pray things like, “Thank You, Lord, for everything You’re doing,” or, “Praise God, I know You’re with me in this situation.” Prayer is simply talking with God and expressing your heart to Him, and that can be done anytime, anywhere.
