[QUOTE="get2choppaaa, post: 1558627, member: 17150"] My wife and I try to say our morning/ evening prayers together. Many times that doesn't happen and she is saying hers at different times than I am due to a combination of our schedule with work/the kids/travel ecft... but we always say prayers together before every meal along with the kids. One thing we both do separately is wear a prayer rope bracelet and just say The Jesus Prayer through out the day. When I am waiting in line at the store, when I am walking to the kitchen/break area at work, when I am driving and getting angry with traffic ecft... I just try and go through all the beads on the bracelet and that usually brings be back from the distress I am thinking toward. A prayer rule is great, and ideal, but even something as simple as counting your fingers and saying "Lord Jesus Christ Son of God, haver mercy on me a sinner" is better than doing nothing because you don't have the time or set up. You can find lectures from Fr Spyridon Bailey on this where he references being in a constant state of prayer and even counting your fingers as you pray. It's helped me a lot over the last couple years. [/QUOTE]
