I believe God wants us to be aware of Him all the time and to consult Him about the little details of our lives. This does not mean we should forsake setting aside a specific time to pray. It may be helpful to make an appointment with God and to write it down in your Daytimer. But even if you spend a set amount of time praying each day, do not forget about God the rest of the time. Since I heard the story about Smith Wigglesworth, I have tried to remind myself of God's presence every fifteen minutes.
Students have a lot of time that can be used for prayer.
We can pray on the way to class or while waiting in line in the cafeteria or while we take a shower in the morning. Instead of beating yourself up trying to set aside time to spend with God, allow Him to come and spend time with you while you do your everyday activities. This is what it means to make God the center of your life. One of the symbols of this university is the huge bronze statue of Oral Roberts' praying hands. This university was built on prayer, and it continues to run on prayer.
