Tools to focus your morning or evening prayer time

If you're like me your mind wanders horribly during prayer! I find that if I have a list of potential topics to spur me to think about different things it makes the time much more meaningful.

I also find that if I write things down I am much more focused. So, at the end of this article you will see links to forms that incorporate these teaser phrases in a way that lets you "fill in the blank," so to speak.

Try them out, and then let me know what you think by clicking on the "comment" link at the bottom of this article.
