Indeed, all these times are appropriate to offer prayer to God. We often offer prayer on behalf of someone who is ill or in trouble. We pray for people we do not know, who have been the victims of famine, crime, war, or natural disasters. For some, using the Book of Common Prayer or some other formal prayerbook is a way to enter into prayer. Some like to take walks and commune with nature, feeling the presence of God all around them.
Some parents begin to train their children in the habit of prayer by reciting grace before meals.
Others say prayers at bedtime. For those of you who spend a great deal of time in your car commuting, consider spending that time talking with God. Offer up your day to the One who made you. Ask for help as you go into a meeting. Ask God to be with you as you prepare to make a difficult phone call.
