I get so distracted that it’s like I have attention deficit disorder. But I think it is worldly trivia disorder - if there is such a thing. A friend recently said that he has developed the habit of a using a prayer chair. He spends one hour sitting in the chair only for praying through his prayer list. I need to do better!
“Prayer is asking God to incarnate, to get dirty in your life. Yes, the eternal God scrubs floors. For sure we know he washes feet. So take Jesus at his word. Ask him. Tell him what you want. Get dirty. Write out your prayer requests; don't mindlessly drift through life on the American narcotic of busyness. If you try to seize the day, the day will eventually break you. Seize the corner of his garment and don't let go until he blesses you. He will reshape the day.” - Paul E. Miller, A Praying Life: Connecting with God in a Distracting World
