Make Time to Pray • Sun.06.21.26

Quiet moments often become the doorway to deeper prayer.

Meaningful conversations require attention. The same is true of prayer. It becomes difficult to connect with someone when distractions constantly pull us away. Setting aside even a few quiet moments can create space for a deeper relationship with God. Like tuning an instrument before a performance, a quiet heart helps us hear more clearly.

Inspired by Chiara Lubich
Word of Life, February 1988

🙏 Prayer to Deepen Our Prayer

Heavenly Father, draw us closer to You each day. Teach us to set aside distractions and spend time in Your presence, so that our prayer may become sincere, attentive, and filled with love. Amen.

A prayer a day, keeps the soul from drifting away

Always Think of God

Keeping God in our thoughts quietly changes the way we live, react, and see the world around us.

That’s actually deeper than it sounds. A simple line, yet it becomes like a compass needle during a storm.

“Always think of God” changes many small things we do not notice right away:

• our ego becomes smaller 
• panic loses volume 
• temptations feel less shiny 
• success stops becoming an addiction 
• pain stops feeling pointless 

It is like having an invisible reset button in the mind. Even during traffic, heartbreak, money problems, or chaos online, there is still a quiet center within us.

Many old thinkers and saints had different versions of the same advice. Not because life was easy back then. Life was brutal. But constant awareness of God gave people direction instead of reaction.

Because when we think only about ourselves, life becomes noisy, like fifty browser tabs all playing sounds at the same time. But when the mind returns to God, things quietly rearrange themselves.

Not perfectly. Just properly.

And the beautiful part is that it does not need to be dramatic. Sometimes “thinking of God” simply means:

• stopping ourselves from lying 
• choosing peace over pride 
• staying kind even when nobody is watching 
• being grateful while drinking cheap coffee during a quiet afternoon 

Tiny things. But tiny things shape entire lives.
