Prayer is unbelievably important. I lost my younger brother last week, and like every other time death kicks in the door, I pray more fervently. The problem for me is sustaining it. I eventually reach the desert and it becomes a struggle. Articles like this, podcasts, and books help, so thank you.

I remember an old saying that the prayers of monks sustain the world, but we living in the world have our work to do as well. Especially in these dark days.

Already ordered. Looking forward to it, Rod. Like most things of instruction in the Bible, "Pray without ceasing" is not in there to be poetic. We are to stay constantly in touch with God. Not only is it good to set aside a dedicated block of time to bring conversation and petition to the Lord, which I've been doing these last couple years, daily. But when something comes up you think you need to bring to the Lord, bring it. You are not inconveniencing him. Talk to Him. Bring your concerns to Him. His peace follows you throughout the day and you may see small movements and miracles around you.

Can't wait for your book, Rod.
