Light pours in through the windows, and memories of meeting God are heavy in the air. A desire to pray is stirred in my heart. For other people it may not be a particular room but a walk along a familiar path or sitting down in a special chair. I have a friend who finds that a bathtub is the best place to meet God. Distractions are at a minimum.
Tensions are relaxed.
Prayer can flourish. We need to seek solutions that fit the peculiarities of our own situations. Perhaps our prayer lives have been areas of struggle. Perhaps our relationship with God is in need of renewal. Attention to rites of preparation, posture and place can rekindle the flame of prayer, signaling to God the intensity of our desire to know him and love him.
