The wise does not wait to start praying until 'in utter chaos and nothing else works'. The human nature is such that we are in a constant battle against the wiles of the devil who is alert to turn us away from our union with God. Without the daily prayer, we lose the battle and face internal death daily. If we are convinced of the great role of Prayer in human life, we long for the time of Prayer. Only the 'consistent effort' to sit in prayer will give us this conviction. Today's prayer is essential for today's battle. Prayer is interesting if we depend on the Holy Spirit who teaches our spirit to pray and win the battle.
(Ref. CCC 2725-2730)
Prayer :
Jesus, my Model for Prayer,
I want to enjoy praying.
I am aware of the blocks and distractions for and in prayer. Let my preferential love be for you alone and I offer you my heart to be purified. Take away the dryness in my prayer life by letting me have my roots by the stream.
