at all times, praying

This article is everything that is wrong with modern understanding of prayer. And that follows not too long after my other rant on poor prayer understanding.

Prayer is not time to be set aside, my fundamental problem with all modern movements who believe they have the true path to a better prayer life. It starts with the idea that you can steal little moments during the day like in the shower or climbing up stairs to bless God with your presence, your precious few free moments. It ends with concerts of prayer that hold Communion hostage, or with daily minute counts.

Lord doesn't want your free time. Lord doesn't want your stolen precious moments. Lord doesn't want your scripted timeslots and lists and accomplished goals. Lord desires a nonstop conversation with you. Lord wants you to have a heart that is free to lift all things small big important useless funny surreal private worshipful dirty wise your total all things to Him. And He wants that at all times. The way to get there is not by finding the spare moments. It is by rearranging completely your poor understanding of it, and producing a heart and mind that is never more than a thought away from Him.
