Jacquelyn Lindsey Prayer is portable It should not be confined to any particular place or moment It should flow as a continuous stream of love and communication with God St Paul advised us to pray without ceasing 1 Thess 5 17 The opportunities for prayer are endless How many quick prayers can be whispered as we wait in line at a traffic signal or the grocery store As St John Chrysostom noted It is possible to offer fervent prayer even while waling in public or strolling alone or seated in your shop while buying or selling even while cooking When we visit the sick at home or in the hospital a shared prayer can enrich the visit and offer peace and strength in far greater measure than simply delivering flowers or magazines When temptations or troubles disturb us or loved ones throughout the day a quick prayer can bring relief I hope this little prayer book will find itself in your pocket purse briefcase or backpac
