Habits of our Hearts - Clare Robert

HABITS OF OUR HEARTS

When we turn the page of the calendar to the new year, it seems that often, the desire to begin again, start anew, reform, rework, and finally address those pesky bad habits surges up in us. Or, at least it does in me!

Our habits do define and limit us in many ways. Good habits can be a backbone for good intentions, and negative habits or indifference can undermine the best of ideals.

One habit of the heart worth cultivating is that of personal prayer.  Sometimes I hear from folks who tell me that they don’t know how to pray, or that they don’t have time. I too sometimes feel the same way. Even in the midst of my work, which, after all, involves a lot of corporate prayer, and the voicing of prayers for others, I too, need to have a pattern to help me and remind me to pray.
