Struggling to pray

If you know me at all, you know I love routine.  It gives my daily life rhythm and helps me organize and plan and prepare.  You may think routine is bad.  You may think you hate structure and that you live every moment "by the seat of your pants."  (Whatever that really means!)  I think most of us have some kind of routine.  I am always amazed at how my prayer life suffers when I lose my routine.  We just took some vacation with Tracey's family and I was constantly struggling to pray.  The good thing is, I was aware of it and was wanting to make time to pray.  The bad thing is, it really didn't happen. 

Two things that may help you and me.

1.  I want to be more Christlike and connected to God in prayer even when I don't have my routine.

2.  Routine is okay and it may be in the midst of that ordinary day that God does something extraordinary (i.e. Peter and Cornelius!).
