Do you have favorite “tools” that you use to encourage and enhance your daily prayer life?

I find myself seeking different tools, especially since my attention span changes and I need to do different things to keep it fresh. There are so many tools available; sometimes I open up a daily prayer book, other times I might read a Psalm. Some days deep breaths and the prayer “Thanks, Help, Wow” are my daily devotion. I love hearing from others about what tools they find helpful.

This week Carol Collier shared a link with me to one of the Colliers’ (Bill and Carol) favorite daily devotions. It is a podcast called Pray As You Go which is accessible online or through a podcast player. Each day, there is some sacred music, a reading of scripture, and a brief reflection on the passage. Carol sent me this particular link because she knew I was preaching on John 14 this week. She learned about this tool in Amy’s weekly Bible study (a great tool you might want to check out – Wednesdays at 12:15 on Zoom) where they discuss the upcoming sermon scriptures.

Click here for a link to Pray As You Go. You might even take 10 minutes to listen as a way to consider the text we will hear in worship this Sunday.

The month of May can be a busy month for many, I know it is for me. It is good to be reminded to slow down each day and reflect on God’s love, presence, and care in our daily lives.
