The Basics

We all desire to become more,  but not knowing where to begin, keeps us from trying. 

We want what is easy. We want what is simple. We want the basics. 

And turns out, we need the basics. 

The Basics of Prayer.

Matthew Kelly shares in his Best Lent Ever video five ways to base our daily lives: 

Basics

1. What is the first basic instruction? Praying for 10 minutes a day. 

2. When do I pray for ten minutes a day? Preferably in the morning, to begin the day with God.  

3. Where do I find time to spend in prayer? In a quiet place. Jesus often left to pray by himself in the quiet. Find a quiet spot in your home or at your church and sit with Jesus in the silence.  

4. How to pray? The Prayer Process is a great guide to begin praying. 

5. Why?  The answer is different for everyone. 

"I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately." Henry David Thoreau 

I think we all wish to live deliberately. 

Let's go back to the basics and live and pray intentionally!
