Prayerfulness

There is prayer and there is prayerfulness.  They are not the same.  Prayer is something slotted into my day.  I sit and meditate for a specific time.  I read a spiritual book for a specific time.  I talk to God about this and that for a bit here and there.  But then the slot time is over and I get on with my life, not much thinking about God.  Prayerfulness is something that I cannot force to happen, but it comes with a practice of meditation, over a period of time.  I keep in touch with God through everything in my life that day.  This is prayerfulness.  Keep practicing prayer and in time the grace of prayerfulness will gradually develop.  You may have slotted activities, but you will no longer have a slotted God.
