THE PRACTICE OF PRAYER
A. SCHEDULED PRAYERS...
1. Having set times to pray can help develop a habit of prayer
2. Consider the practice of two great men of God
a. David, whom God described as "a man after My own heart" - Ps 55:17
b. Daniel, whom the angel of God described as "O man greatly
beloved" - Dan 6:10
3. They made it a habit to pray at set times during the day
a. It would not hurt to imitate them
b. For example: three times daily - morning, noon, and evening
4. I have found it helpful to pray 5 times a day
a. 9am - 12noon -3pm - 6pm - 9pm
b. Even if they are short prayers (see below)
-- At the very least, make time each day to spend in prayer
