Just thought I’d share one prayer technique that has really helped me cultivate a prayer habit. I call it praying the calendar. I basically go through my calendar and pray about anything and everything. I pray for the people I have meetings with. I pray for upcoming events. For example, my kids go to camp next week so I prayed that they’d have a defining spiritual moment. And its the 4th of July so I found myself praying for America. More specifically, another Great Awakening.

Here is what praying the calendar does for me: it gives me a sense of destiny. I feel like I walk into each day, each meeting, each experience with holy anticipation. Why? Because I’ve prayed about it.
