When I pause in moments like this, I know that You are what I truly need.
“Sometimes, Father, in the midst of days like today, I can be overcome by things that I want or need. Help me feel near to You, with my eyes open to the ways that You are at work in my life.
“Heavenly Father, as I embark on this day, I ask for Your blessing. Guide me to do Your will and be an instrument of your peace today and each day. “God, help me navigate whatever challenges I encounter this day. Sometimes, our days don’t always allow us the opportunity to carve out a long period of time devoted entirely to prayer.Įven if we prioritize God in our lives, sometimes we need a simple way to connect with our loving Creator, who is always happy to hear from us. Praying each day is one of the most important habits we can build.Īnd you can start with some very simple prayers. “It is in the present that we encounter Him, not yesterday or tomorrow, but today.” More recently, Pope Francis spoke about the importance of daily prayer during one of his papal audiences in February 2021.
The Church has echoed the message of the importance of praying often for centuries. As Christianity Today points out, “The practice of daily, set prayer goes back to the Old Testament.” Early Christians then emulated Jewish customs by praying each day. The roots of daily prayer predate the Church itself. Just as habits (good and bad) can impact our health, our career and our relationships with others, they can also affect our prayer life and our relationship with God.Īnd our relationship with God can impact everything.
