I’m here in St. Louis at the International Christian Retail Show to promote 10 Prayers You Can’t Live Without. First thing in the morning, as always, I went on a morning jog in the city. Wow. What an amazing view of the mighty Mississippi in morning light.
I keep wanting to add a prayer to 10 Prayers, one that’s not very long, simply an expression of praise and wonder. “Wow” or “Awesome” or “What a sight.” That’s what I feel when I see a beautiful view like this one.
Then inside the convention center I signed copies of 10 Prayers and met tons of great people. I like to ask readers, while I’m scrawling their name and my name on the title page, “What’s your favorite place to pray?” Here are some of their answers:
“In my car on my way to work.”
“In the kitchen when I’m cooking.”
“At the kitchen table. One side of the table I use for work but the other side is for prayer. When I sit there I’m ready to pray.”
“A big comfortable chair in our bedroom.”
“We’ve just moved, so I haven’t found the perfect place to pray in our new house, but in our old house it was on the sofa in the living room.”
“Everywhere. I like to pray everywhere. I talk to God so much I wonder if he ever gets tired of listening. I tell him everything.” (I told her I didn’t think God got tired of listening. I never get tired of listening to my kids.)
“In my office. At my computer.”
“Outside. I love to pray when I walk.”
“In my bed when I’m falling asleep and first thing in the morning when I wake up.”
Got a favorite place to pray? Tell us!
