"Prayer is friendship with God. Friendship is not formal, but it is not formless: it has its cultivation, its behavior, its obligations, even its disciplines; and the casual mind kills it."
-George A. Buttrick
My current prayer life is not so much formal- I wouldn't even begin to describe it as formal. But is form has not yet been matured. It has no schedule or disciplines for that matter. I would like my prayers to almost become more formal- that I develop a consistent schedule in which I pray specifically for different people in my life, organizations, and future oriented visions. I talked to one of my good friends a few weeks ago, and she has committed each day to pray specifically for things in her life. I would like to develop a scheduled prayer life- to offer up my life through prayer consistently and specifically each week, so that his response will not go unnoticed.
Father, mold me into a man of prayer.
