1.

A WAY OF LIFE

Praying without ceasing is not living on your knees; it is living connected. Prayer becomes the backdrop of everything you do.

2.

SHORT AND CONSTANT

Between one task and the next, a sentence flung heavenward: "thank You," "help me," "here I am." Brief prayers keep the line open.

3.

JOY FEEDS PRAYER

"Rejoice always" comes first. Whoever cultivates joy in God finds that the road to prayer comes naturally.

4.

THANKS IN EVERYTHING

In all circumstances — not for all of them. Gratitude recognizes God's presence even in the hard chapters.

5.

GOD'S WILL, MADE PLAIN

Want to know God's will for your life? Here it is in writing: joy, prayer, and gratitude — today.

6.

THREE PAUSES TODAY

Act: before breakfast, set three alarms — morning, noon, and evening. When each one rings, pray a single sentence.
