I pray daily mostly in the “free form” style. I do this all throughout the day. It took me weeks to form a habit of praying before I eat and giving thanks for my food. I also pray before showing (I use part of a Psalm; cleanse me in hyssop, O Lord, that I may be white as snow.) for purity. To clean off heavy energy or psychic dirt. I pray before bedtime, and when I go to walk my dogs.
Lately though I’ve been feeling that some of my prayers are becoming stale. I think the prayer of St. Francis is beautiful! I think I will try out what you have done! I’ll try putting real intention and heartfelt sincerity behind the recitation of St Francis’s prayer.
It’s hard to say what the effects of prayer have been on my life. I’ve only started praying recently, probably within the past 3 years. I mainly pray to give thanks, to praise our Lord, and to ask for guidance and protection for myself and those around me.
