Simplifying Your Prayer Routine

Simplifying Your Prayer Routine - Blessed Is She

We are called to make prayer a daily habit, coming to Jesus to cultivate friendship with Him day after day. However, the idea of maintaining a consistent prayer routine can feel overwhelming, with the perception that it requires hours of dedication and a rigid structure. Yet building your prayer life is probably simpler than you think. 

Building a Prayer Routine

The foundation of a vibrant prayer life is consistency. By setting aside a dedicated time each day to relate to the Lord, we create a sacred space that nourishes our souls and strengthens our faith. However, this doesn't mean that your prayer routine needs to be rigid or time-consuming.

Finding Your Ideal Prayer Time

The key to establishing a consistent prayer routine is to find a time that works best for you. Perhaps it is first thing in the morning, during your lunch break, or before bed – the important thing is that you choose a time that you can reliably commit to, even on the busiest of days. This set-apart prayer time will become a little retreat in the midst of your ordinary life, a daily check-in with the Lord.

Mixing it Up

While consistency is essential, incorporating variety into your prayer routine can be helpful, especially in times of dryness. This could involve alternating between different prayer styles, such as contemplative meditation, the rosary, or spontaneous prayer. You might also consider incorporating different elements, such as Scripture reading, journaling, playing music, or taking a walk.

Starting Small

If the idea of a lengthy prayer session feels daunting, begin with just a few minutes each day. Commit to spending 5-10 minutes in prayer, and gradually increase the time. 

Another way to simplify your prayer is to integrate it into your existing daily routines. This could mean reciting a morning offering as you get ready for the day, praying the Angelus at noon, or ending your evening with a brief examination of conscience. By weaving prayer into the fabric of your day, it becomes a consistent and natural part of your life.

Embracing Flexibility

As you develop your prayer routine, don't be afraid to experiment and find what works best for you. This might involve incorporating your favorite Catholic devotions, exploring different prayer styles, or even creating your own unique prayers. The key is to approach prayer with an open heart and a willingness to let your relationship with God guide your practice.

Your prayer routine may evolve over time, just as your spiritual journey ebbs and flows. There may be seasons where your prayer life feels vibrant and effortless, and others where it feels more challenging. Be gentle with yourself during these times, and trust that God will meet you where you are. Embrace the flexibility to adjust as needed, remembering that just being present to the Lord is the whole point.

Cultivating a Lifelong Habit

Developing a consistent prayer routine is not a one-time accomplishment, but rather a lifelong journey of deepening your relationship with God. By embracing simplicity and flexibility, you can create a prayer routine that nourishes your soul and sustains you through the ups and downs of life.

Perseverance and Patience

Building a consistent prayer habit takes time and patience. There may be days when it feels like a struggle, or times when your routine falls by the wayside. When this happens, resist the temptation to become discouraged. Instead, gently recommit to your practice, remembering that every step, no matter how small, is a testament to your dedication and love for God.

Celebrating Small Victories

As you navigate your prayer journey, be sure to celebrate the small victories along the way. Whether it's a particularly meaningful prayer session, a newfound sense of peace, or simply the act of showing up consistently, thank Jesus when you notice this growth.

Conclusion

Far from adherence to a rigid set of rules, daily prayer is, as Beth Davis puts it, "a beautiful dance." She reflects, "Even as you mature and persevere in daily prayer, you never fall off. Even out of daily prayer into your life -- you're still with the Lord, and then you come back to daily prayer." Remember, the goal is not to check a box, but to cultivate friendship with the Lord. Embrace simplicity: start small, stay flexible and gentle with yourself, and give yourself to Him day after day. He is waiting for you.

WANT TO DEEPEN YOUR PRAYER?

Get ready to be radically changed by the Lord and His presence.

Be drawn into intimacy with the Lord by way of weekly videos, a community within the Blessed is She app, and invitations into reading scripture in a whole new way.
