Great idea...

I remember hearing that idea before Bill, and I think it's an excellent one. For one thing, it's so much more personal. I think, it tends to be uncomfortable, and inconvenient, but wow, how personal, and real, to say, let me lift you up right now. And put a hand on a shoulder, and say a quick prayer....I've been trying to do that more myself, even on the phone.

Also, I do try to do the incessant prayer thing, for whatever reason, my mind is more focused when I'm doing physical things, washing dishes, scrambling around the house, running, biking, doing yard work....these are times, when I think on Theology, and also, tends to be the time, prayer requests pop in my mind....so I pray while I'm doing these things....might not be the Meditative prayer of the kneeling quiet time, but I feel it fits with Praying incessantly....my one buddy, laughs, and likes to bring up the time that I told him I was praying for him while brushing my teeth. lol

I think to some, it feels odd, but, is God not with us at all times? And like has been said, I better pray it when I think it or I'll forget.
