E - Extract time to... Many think, Prayer is too boring. I can't concentrate on it longer than 20 minutes. I am TOO BUSY!! Or even worse, I don't care if I don't pray because it won't keep me out of heaven; I'm going to go live my life the way I want to live it and pray when I am on my hospital bed for a surgery or when my car is spinning out of control when I hit a patch of black ice.

CCIHOPP PRAYER CHALLENGE HOW CAN I PRAY???
Inward Prayer Models
Outward Prayer Models Outpour Overflow of being loved by Jesus that runs through your actions to others.
Ministering to Jesus Sitting before the Lord one-on-one, just listening to HIS heart and spending time with Him. Practicing His Presence The habit of knowing Jesus is daily next to us even in the most mundane tasks, such as washing dishes. Soaking Praying in silence for an extended period of time and reflecting on the Holy Spirit, while others pray for and with you. Intercession Lifting up prayer requests on behalf of loved ones. Harp & Bowl Praising Jesus as Holy using Scripture, often in a calland-response style (see Revelation 5:8). Discernment The practice of specifically knowing God's intent for your every move, the spirit of others, and more. Wisdom Words Words of knowledge given to you by the Lord for another believer that you have no natural ability to know.
Visions Seeing physical or spiritual dreams with purpose and potential future personal changes and events. Physical Reaction A physiological reaction in your body clearly indicating a correct/incorrect path. We know we're just scratching the surface, but keep reading Salt Magazine, and in later issues, we will dig deeper into practical ways to implement the above prayer forms and give you more exact and intense descriptions of each form. For this issue, our challenge to you is simple. Please read The Practice of the Presence of God by Brother Lawrence and live it! His book was written in the 1600's, but it is VERY applicable to our generation. (plus, it is only about 100 pages in length--great for those of us with extremely short attention spans!)
