Our whole life is a prayer. We do not need to attend to
praying; we need to attend to awareness of the prayer we are already praying at
any given moment. Do our thoughts or words or actions reveal a prayer of
devotion, or anger, frustration, grief, joy, desperation, hope...? All these
and more are necessary prayers, for prayer is the bearing – and laying bare – of
our being before God. The Psalms are a master class in this. If you want to
learn how to attend to what you are already praying at any given moment, read
the Psalms, regularly.
