Hints

Because praying for an hour for many may seem like a monumental task, these are suggestions for making this time of prayer more meaningful for you. Remember, these are just suggestions.

• Select a time that you can truly devote to the Lord.
• Choose a place where you can be quiet. Kneel or sit before the Lord.
• Materials you may want to have on hand include the your bible, prayer helps, written prayers, prayer requests from church, your cross of nails and a notebook or prayer journal if you use one.
• You may wish to light a candle.
• Begin by praying:
  For the Lord’s presence to quiet your heart, mind, body, and spirit.
  For the Lord to take the cares and stress of the day from you.
• Several references are listed in the sidebar. You may wish to take advantage of these.
