Martin Luther once said that he was "too busy not to pray". Prayer is a powerful tool to use in your life, and has the ability to change the lives of others. But for many, it seems hard to grasp. The most difficult part about the discipline of prayer is actually doing it!. Why? For many, we get so caught up in the day to day activities of our lives that we forget to talk to God. Gregg Matte has found a method to make prayer a huge part of his everyday life.

Starting your day in prayer is a great way to give your day over to God. You can then plan out the day and proceed with your day's activities. This gives a perspective of spending your day with God in the center of all your actions and decisions. You may also find you spend more time talking with Him throughout the day. Prayer walks are an example of spending time with God through taking time to pray for the things and people that come across your path. Prayer walks can easily be added into your everyday routine. We already walk places anyways, why not make it a productive time that brings you closer to the Lord!
