Spending Time in Prayer

Blessings All,
Last Sunday in outdoor worship, we were thinking about what we need to pack if we wanted to intentionally spend time with God this summer.  I mentioned that while I am away at the cottage in August, I will be spending some time working through a book called ‘31 Short Spiritual Practices.’  It got me thinking about the importance of spending time in prayer.  Of course, prayer is always important, but I was wondering if you have ever put aside some time in the day to intentionally talk to God.
At Camp Bimini last week, one of the sessions with the 7-9 year olds, we spoke about prayer.  We talked about how Jesus tells us not to worry about using big words, or about praying out loud on street corners – but just treat prayer as a telephone conversation with a friend.  Of course with the children, they thought more about it as a tweet, or Instagram, or Facebook post!  But seriously, I invite you this summer to put a time aside each day to just chat with God!
And, while you are thinking about that – I invite you to listen to this catchy little song “Prayer is Like A Telephone’ that became an ear worm for the kids at Camp Bimini.
