Pray the Lord's Prayer at least four times through the day.

Every Sunday at St. John's in Henley-in-Arden we prayed this prayer from Matthew 6. After almost three years as an expatriate the words soaked deeply into my memory, giving voice to otherwise unspoken yearnings: "Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come....."

Let the words sink into your thoughts as you pray it today, in whatever version is comfortable for you. (or look it up on Biblegateway.com in several different versions)  Which phrase is particularly meaningful today? How is God's kingdom coming into your world today? What needs will you trust God to fill today? Where is deliverance on order?

Know that God hears your prayers, spoken and unspoken.
