Prayer

I've found myself thinking a lot lately that I need to pray more. You know the Bible says we are to pray continually. So what does that mean? I knew of a guy in college who took that mean he was to set is alarm clock for every hour, wake up pray, and get up again the next hour to pray again. That doesn't seem right. It doesn't make sense that I could sit hands folded, eyes closed 24 hours a day either. I need to eat at some point. I need to sleep at some point.

What if prayer worked differently? What if prayer meant walking through an open field, sharing conversation with a friend over a cup of coffee, playing with your child, or preparing a meal for friends or family? It seems to me prayer would be a much different thing then, something I could actually do a little more often. While these words are a bit of a prayer in themselves, I think I'm going to go and pray some other ways now.
