Paying attention to God throughout the day

Many of us rush through our days trying to get through to-do lists or get to the end of the never-ending tasks that fill our lives. Others of us are not so busy but are still not consciously attentive to God during our waking hours. We are often not aware of God as we go through each day.

Many Christian traditions have developed daily rhythms of prayer. We can create a rhythm and style that works for us. The following are some possibilities and suggestions.

· Find times of the day that work for you
· Create some space around this time
· Many of us value quietness and stillness
· You may like to find a specific spot
· Silence is helpful but not always achievable or possible
· Focus your thoughts on God
· You may like to read some scripture
· Talk with God about how the day is going
· Pray about people, situations from your day
· Express your thanks to God

Just a few minutes at a time will keep us aware of journeying through each day with God. He is Emanuel – God with us
