Constant Prayer

We had our first small group meeting of the season this week.  I know about half of the people from previous small groups and there are several  new couples.   We are watching a video series which is focused on the Holy Spirit.  The topic of constant prayer came up, and one of our new members mentioned how important it was to him that he pray throughout the day.  I had several feelings when he said that: inadequacy, envy and wonder, to name three.  I am pretty good about having some time to pray in the morning before the rest my day gets started, but I am TERRIBLE about praying throughout the day.  I have tried to address this in the past with little tricks to help me, like setting a reminder on my calendar or putting up “post it” notes in conspicuous places where I will see them.  I think anything that helps is good.  But I don’t have to look further than my wife, Caroline, to know what the real answer is.  Her heart, soul and mind are tuned into God and the Holy Spirit, and because of this, she is constantly thinking of Him and talking to Him.  I want to be more like her, so I can be more like Him.
