Last week I was thinking about how much I enjoy poring over the newspaper each morning, when I suddenly realized that it doesn't have to be merely "personal time." I could read the paper prayerfully!
Now I have been having wonderful prayer times each morning, praying about things I rarely would have before: the election, state budgets, abused children, natural disasters, and so much more. My prayer time has broadened considerably, and it has enriched and deepened my regular afternoon prayer times as well.
Seriously. Why didn't I start doing that 10 years ago?
I challenge you: the next time you read the paper or watch the news or skim the internet headlines, do it prayerfully and see what God does in your intimacy with Him.
