This week, when you hear the screaming<br />
sirens of an emergency vehicle, pause and<br />
pray. Pray for protection for all involved.<br />
For courage and calm. For clear minds to<br />
observe and interpret situ<strong>at</strong>ions. For<br />
wisdom for the split second decisions.<br />

We often say th<strong>at</strong> prayer is a<br />
two-way convers<strong>at</strong>ion, but don't<br />
act th<strong>at</strong> way. This week, before<br />
you start praying, spend a few<br />
moments in silence followed by<br />
a quiet reflection on God's<br />
Word. Allow God to start the<br />
convers<strong>at</strong>ion.<br />

This week, instead of saying your<br />
prayers, write them.<br />
Did you know, th<strong>at</strong>'s how the Book of<br />
Psalms came about.<br />
Practice “prayer breaks” throughout the day,<br />
pausing for a few moments of prayer every hour;<br />
set an alarm on your phone to help you<br />
