Pray Any Time

Going back to the subject of making time to pray, it's also important to remember that, in a sense, we don't really have to. Of course, it's good to set aside time for prayer and reflection, but we can also pray in ways that don't take up any time at all. We can pray, at least in our hearts, while we're physically doing other things, like working or traveling, though you'll probably want to keep your eyes open while you're saying those prayers. We can (and should) pray any time, anywhere, even if we're busy or on the go. Kneeling is good, but not necessary. God knows our thoughts. If we direct them to Him, He'll hear them, and as long as we listen to His answers, that's about as close to prayer as we really need to get.

I think to have a full prayer life and relationship with God we need to do both. Regular, focused prayers plus frequent, little mini prayers, always a prayer in your heart. And learning to listen. Much like any good, close relationship. Couples should spend some time looking each other in the eyes and focusing on each other. There will be many small casual communications through the day. And there should be some real dates and ongoing courtship.
