Continuously, throughout the Gospels, we find encouragement to dedicate ourselves to times of prayer. Daily, we can find a few minutes and a quiet space to remind ourselves of the many ways God has provided for and established our lives. I recommend beginning each time in prayer with a Bible verse or story read out loud, followed by a time of gratitude. At that point, we will be in a focused state to receive what the Holy Spirit, the same Spirit within Jesus, will reveal to us.
