In the old days of cassette tapes I had the whole Bible on tape, and often used to listen while driving. It was interesting how different was the experience of listening instead of reading. xPen Wilcockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13818227904371811230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55532501364780143.post-57038503660875628912013-11-24T17:08:41.011+00:002013-11-24T17:08:41.011+00:00Just a thought, could your lectionary prayers and ...Just a thought, could your lectionary prayers and readings be recorded in some way, leaving a pause for repetition after each line? Then they would be portable and could be used on walks or when busy with other tasks like cooking or washing dishes.

Lately, MY prayer challenge has been at least temporarily solved as I use the travel time (approximately 1 hour)to be with my parents for prayer. Out loud. And occasional Scripture memory fills in the gaps. <br /><br />Since 5 of 7 days a week goes this way, I find myself praying more than usual. <br /><br />Note, I said "temporarily".<br /><br />And it IS good to find you posting more.... rebeccahttp://lifeandgodliness-rebecca.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55532501364780143.post-7481954585531230502013-11-23T14:11:50.200+00:002013-11-23T14:11:50.200+00:00Good thought! xGood thought! xPen Wilcockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13818227904371811230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55532501364780143.post-86833311256340951822013-11-23T13:07:37.147+00:002013-11-23T13:07:37.147+00:00Perhaps you need to adopt the Jewish idea that the...Perhaps you need to adopt the Jewish idea that the day starts at evening.

I think walking and praying is definitely a solution for most people. <br />In my discipline with the Servants With Jesus, we follow particular lectionary readings and psalms in our devotions, which can't combine with exercise. If I were simply praying, I'd change my exercise to walking and do both at once.Pen Wilcockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13818227904371811230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55532501364780143.post-10379614985416051792013-11-23T02:34:58.416+00:002013-11-23T02:34:58.416+00:00I wake around 5am.

Make myself a cup of tea and take it back to bed to do my bible and devotional readings. <br /><br />I do have a short prayer time then, but my main prayer time is as I do my 40 minute walk around the river at 6.30am. That's when I talk with God :) xxLyndahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05372513528828334944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55532501364780143.post-69842913872179641032013-11-22T23:44:38.631+00:002013-11-22T23:44:38.631+00:00I don't do mornings!

But it is difficult, I get up so early to do all the monring things I thin are important. <br /><br />It took a lot of experiemtning to get to that point though!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
