Comments on: Never enough time?

A religion is simply a set of beliefs about God. That's exactly what the Bible is...a set of beliefs (truths) about God. It's a religion. You are trying to separate two things that can't be separated and even if you could separate them gets you no closer to God - it gets you further. You might be interested in <a href="http://fallibleblogma.com/index.php/i-hate-religious-people/" rel="nofollow">another post I wrote here</a> that talks a little bit about being "spiritual" vs "religious."

What i know is that God is a divine spiritual being.A growing spiritiual maturity not religiousity is obviously the way to go since our creator is a Spirit.Until we get this we will continue to play God to our creator?...

When I don't pray, I don't come to the wisdom I need to prioritize what I am doing. Prayer helps me identify and know what I should do, and when to do it. But prayer also helps me refresh my soul so that I have the strength to accomplish all that God asks of me. Jesus had to get away to pray all the time to recharge so he could minister to people. We need to take time to rest and pray and recharge too. Yep, this is right! When I don’t pray, I don’t come to the wisdom I need to prioritize what I am doing.

If we begin our day by making a prayer of a Daily Morning Offering, then, no matter what we do or do not accomplish, it becomes a gift of prayer to Our Lord Jesus through His mother, and it is what Our Lord wants from us. He gives us this day, and we should give it back to Him, and when we do so through His Blessed Mother, she will "pretty" it up and perfect it before handing it to Him. "All things work together for good, to them that love Him.". Some people suffer with illness and cannot do much else (although they would like to) except suffer. Their suffering is not wasted when given to Our Lady to hand as a gift to Our Lord to unite to His suffering and love for us. I love this.

Certainly prayer is time well spent and perhaps one of the most "productive" ways to spend our time. But of course this post is focusing more on how much prayer also contributes to us keeping a healthy handle on all of the other things that take up so much time in our lives. And that when we have a healthy prayer life we come to recognize that each day has precisely the right amount of time in it. Peace! Brother Craig – agreed!

And Matt and several comments point out that prayer does make one's day more productive. However, let us consider that if one prays for one hour one has one hour less to do dishes or post on blogs or re-ordering one's spices but it is time well spent. It honors prayer greatly to say that it does take up time and well worth it. Just a thought.
