Prayer as Presence

I continue on in the journey of dedicating myself to a rhythm of prayer several times a day.  The going is slow, but I write today with the joy of having had time for both morning and afternoon prayer.  This after noon it has been just a few minutes to sing the Psalms, reflect, and try to hear God.  As I did so, I remembered an important call I need to make to check in with a young woman I have been praying with and for. Without this time, she would not have been on my mind.  I am grateful that God is able and willing to do so much with even the small snippets of time I give Him.  I pray these times of prayer will grow. Such prayer helps me to be fully present to life, to those around me.
