I have a couple of quite old little books that I have retained for so long that I can't remember hoew they came into my possession. The author is identified as Father Andrew and one, The Pattern Prayer, is a series of meditations on the Lord's Prayer, originally published in 1942.
I happened to pick it up to today and my eye was caught by a little section in the first meditation that offers a description of prayer. "There are all sorts of ways of praying - thinking of God, singing softly to God, pondering, imagining, conceiving of Jesus in his beauty. Any way in which we spend time with God is prayer."
I like that - any way in which we spend time with God is prayer. But it is important to find that time.
