this week we’ll be:
practising 2 minutes of silence in God’s presence, before one of our daily prayer times.
On average, we are awake for around 1,000 minutes a day. During each of those, we often cram in as many activities as possible, or spend a significant amount of time on our phones. However, as we've already seen through this series, God wants us to talk to Him through prayer, and he wants us to talk to him.
So this week, we're going to set aside time before one of our three prayer times to intentionally be still in the presence of God—to rest, be free of distractions, and focus on what God wants to say to us during the week.
This means that a typical day of prayer for us may look like this:
Morning: 2 minutes silence + Lord’s Prayer + our own prayers
Midday: Lord’s Prayer
Evening: Lord’s Prayer
