How do we make our private prayer mirror the public prayer of the Church, the liturgy? First, make Scripture your favorite companion during prayer. You will be amazed at how much you will take from your prayer time when you are allowing God to speak to you through His Holy Word. Jesus loves when we contemplate on His letter to us, because He loves giving us little nudges that help us draw closer to Him—whether it’s reminding us to be more like Mary and a little less like Martha. By listening to God’s Word in prayer, we receive strength, nourishment, and guidance. Second, become a true disciple of the Eucharist—give thanks. Being thankful doesnt change God; it changes us. It makes us disciples that want to sing rather than whine. By giving thanks in prayer, we receive joy, peace, and comfort.
