Goal: Scheduling a prayer time
Fellas, thanks for joining me today is day one. It's your first day of spiritual training and spiritual growth. For the next seven days, we are focusing on one theme: prayer. Our goal is building a prayer habit that carries with us for the next 35 days.
Prayer is a fundamental spiritual discipline. Often it's with a prayer that our relationship with Christ begins. Usually, someone prayed for us, or we prayed with someone else. Yet praying on our own can feel a little awkward when we haven't done it before. Prayer is merely talking to God. That's it. For newer Christians, talking to an unseen God is a little unnatural. Honestly, I get it. It's unusual to have a conversation with someone who is not physically standing in front of us. It feels like we are talking to ourselves—which is weird. And guys don't want to be that weird guy who talks to themselves.
But the small hurdle of learning to talk with an unseen God is not the central issue men have with practicing the discipline of prayer. The primary issue is all the other pressing issues that keep us from praying and developing a habit of prayer. Daily we face demands that compete for our time. Because of this, men go days, weeks, and even months devoid of prayer, trusting only in human effort rather than trusting in God through prayer. This can leave men feeling physically drained and spiritually depleted. Since so many other things compete with this priority, we need to be reminded of its priority and develop the habit as much, if not more than learning to pray.
Here is your activity for today. It's not to pray. I know laughable, right? Today I want you to set the alarm on your device or a meeting in your calendar, reminding you to pray each day at the same time. I want you to select a time that works best for you daily. Set it to repeat for 35 days or indefinitely if you are an overachiever. Determine a private place for your prayer time and put this in the reminder or calendar meeting, as well. And that is it.
When you have done this, and only after you have done it, I want you to type your first name, and the time you set along with the location in the comment section below. If you want, share why you chose this time. Your reasoning for choosing your time and place could be helpful for other men.
6:15 am Kitchen Table Coffee , Devotions & Prayer
10:00 pm, bedroom right before bed.
Computer room, back of house, upstairs. 7:00 AM
2:00pm
We were asked to pray at 2:00 by our church because we’re starting the process of planting a second campus. I can just piggy back off that and make it my daily routine.
3:00 pm in my private conference room at work.
3:30 AM in my office at home
i built myself a prayer and worship cabin where i do bible studies and reading and visiting
When I am not traveling I have added it to my daily schedule for 0600-0615 every day!
Mornings 11:15AM – Leave office and walk around office back parking lot.
there you go JB
7:30… bedroom. Most mornings when not traveling, I wake up at around 4:30-5:00. I am up with praise and worship time and Bible study. However, some of those days, I do forget to pray. This will be a great reminder to start my day by coming before the Lord with prayers of praise and thankfulness, along with prayers for others.
Prayer: 4am
Location: Home office
Prayer time : 0500
Place : my wood shop
This is my alone place.
There you go Larry!

6:00am. My home office
0600 Morning Prayer Walk!
Daily – Before getting out of Bed – I pray over my wife. I pray that I always love my wife as much as Lord Loves his Church ….. and for giving me another day to serve him.
During the Week – Evenings
Weekends – Morning First thing after sending out Daily Devotionals.
Before Bed
Garage Gym – It’s quiet! No distractions.
12 pm
In the early morning. In my chair in front of window looking out into the woods.
6 am on the back patio
This is my exact problem with being consistent in praying.
I drive semi overnight’s and I live in the truck during the week, my schedule changes daily than on the weekends I flip my sleep schedule to be with my family.
There’s no time I can consistently set an alarm or place.
I can pray while I’m driving, but than my focus is divided
I can pray when I wake up everyday, but that’s not consistent to a time or place. I usually wake up wondering where I am!
I understand that God isn’t concerned with time or place, he just wants my heart and focus. But this is frustrating to me because I’m not consistent in anything, I’m always chasing my tail.
Beautiful confession Troy
7:00PM my bedroom
6:30 AM on my back patio. Everyone in the house is usually still asleep and I feel more connected with God when outside.
7:15 AM at home – between kids leaving for school and me for work
I will shoot for 6:00am on the red chair in the living room.
5:30am and in my bedroom. I choose this time because I want to start my day right with God

first thing in the morning and in my Florida room as I gaze upon our Father in heaven’s creation !
In the morning before I make breakfast in the kitchen
8am spare bedroom.
It’s a convenient, quiet location. I want to say ‘sometime in morning’ rather than 8, but I clearly see the habit forming value of scheduled activity.
4:30 am in my home office
Heavenly Father, I want to start improving my communication with You, by improving my Prayer Life.
By praying to you daily, and out loud at the same time each day.
I am and just getting started, and am retired. I will start walking at 7am and praying about 7:45am facing east
by the window, in the entertainment room, where my wife can’t hear me, but God Can!
7:30am In my bedroom
7am in the shower, because I won’t be interrupted by kids at home or folks at work.
8 AM either in my office or driving.
8:30 am. In my study. I chose this time and location because this is the time of morning when I usually study my Bible and it’s quiet.
I will make a point to pray at 8:05AM every day while driving home (to work) after taking kids to school.
4pm Daily in my Home Office.
Later in the work day so I can pray with God and share any issues and challenges before spending time with family.
7:00 am in my living room before work
6am in my home office facing the window. (my back to my desk and work)
6:45 am in my Office before work begins.
My time is 6:45am. My location is my home office/study
I get up around 5:30am and either go walking or bike riding for exercise. When I finish I come home and as I eat breakfast I spend my time with the Lord.
6:00am at the side of my bed
All in
7am, in my garage
6:30am in the chair outside of our bedroom
My scheduled time is 7:20 pm
My location is in my truck. I chose this location because of my work schedule and I am able to be alone at this time every day.
My prayer time will be early in the am after my coffee after the dogs let out during my quiet time I already pray daily and more than once but I am trying to grow and be a better person .I am retired so I am not as busy as working men
930am in my truck. I spend alot of time in here so seems like a good spot.
Prayer time be 2 or 3am in my office at home
I am praying at 5:30 am in my walk in closet. It is private and I can close the door. I can have a conversation with God with no distractions.
7:45 pm in my garage.
5:15 AM
My kitchen table or my front porch depending on weather.
Nobody but me is up and I have no distractions at this time.
There you go Rick!
I have scheduled my prayer time for early morning, and my chosen location is outside, when weather allows, in the beauty of nature.
BOOM 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I chose 9 pm for my prayer time.
Location: Outside /Nightly Walk
I chose this time for a couple reasons… 1:) I live in Vegas and it’s Hot!
2:) It allows me to reflect on my day and pray for the coming day.
3:) Being outside and walking not only allows me to grow in Spiritual Readiness but Physical Readiness as well.
4:) It allows me to be away from distractions
12pm
In the woods at work
4:30 in my basement
5:45 am in my dining room
Way to go Garrett.
4:45 am in the basement. First thing I will do in the mornin and the most consistent available time of my day
There’s a guy who get up when I get up 👊🏼
6a in office.
Between 5&6am. Either on the couch in the living room during the winter or on the back deck when it’s nice out.
👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼
8:20 A.M. in my computer room. The reasoning behind this is I rarely have anything going on that early and it’s a room that only I use
I’ve decided on 4:45 am, mainly because that is when I get up for work and with my crazy schedule, there aren’t any other consistent times that would work
2:00. This is when I get off of work, so before the rest of my day starts I’ll pray in my room.
My time to pray is at 5am immediately after I wake up on my knees by my bed.
For me this is very important to start my day with God making Him my focus of the day, allowing me to encounter the rest of the day with spiritual strength.
745 on my way to work!
5:45 am, I am the first one up at the kitchen table. Looking forward to starting new habits.
Good job Gerald!
5am, it’s quiet, no one is up, and it starts my devotional time before I go to work.
6:00 am Instead of concentrating on news and coffee its prayer and coffee
my prayer time is 7;15 am i arrive at work and have 30 minutes before clocking in-ill be alone and a good way to start my day
11am allows me to break in the middle of my work to kind of reset. I pray first thing every morning but will set a permanent time for 11am. God bless you all 👊🙏
8:30am at my desk wether in my home or work office.
I’m going to pen gage prayer today at 12…….Gino
At night before bed
During my work-from-home week, 8AM at my home office desk. During the weeks when I’ll be in the office, 8AM in the car on the way to work.
7:00 woodshop.
6am in the den. I am the only one up this early I have been starting my day like this for 6 months now it sure does help me get my day started Prayer and my daily Devo
0530
Family room, with my cat curled up next to me.
First thing in the morning (5:30) at my dining room table with a cup of coffee.
6am
@ the side of my bef.
I struggled with accomplishing this when I read the book. Having to write it down for other to see is a good incentive to be accountable. I will pray each morning before I shower.
I will pray at 5:30am EAT before my wife and kids are awake on our second floor balcony.
I will pray at noon everyday because these is my lunch brake at work and a time that I can have uninterrupted conversation with God, because my kids are at daycare and my wife is at work.
I will pray on my drive to work, and before bed everyday
I am setting my alarm and creating a calendar invite for 2200 each night and I will pray in my office area at home.
AJ,
Right on! 2200 set!
I am going to schedule my prayer time for 6 AM. I am going to for opportunities during the day, that I honor God with my work, that I show love and grace to whom I interact with, praise Him for all His goodness. I hope to develop the habit of prayer pulling into my driveway after work as well. Then I want to thank God for work, ask that I be fully present for my family, and honor him with my evening.
I’ve decided I’ll pray to God mid day when the sun is highest in the sky. After all it’s my understanding that God is light. So to me as a new Christian this only makes sense. I also feel as though outdoors prayer will be a great way to become closer to God so I’ve chosen to have my daily prayer along the cedar trees lining my property.
My prayer time is 7:55 a.m. at my desk.
4am weekdays and 5am weekends. I pray in my home office where it’s quite. My wife and I also pray before bed to end the day in harmony with Christ.
6:05am. Back patio.
I wanted my time and place to be close/similar to Jesus’ time and place, outside before sunrise.
Just starting my 35 day challenge.
Can I pray while riding my indoor exercise bike or should it be seperate
Do it! 🥇🥇🥇🥇
I will pray at the beginnings of my day, usually 9am. I will pray in the spare bedroom so I can close the door & be by myself.
I am doing a daily prayer with my wife before we get out of bed putting on the armour of God. Then I do my devotions & challenge.
We finish the day in bed with a couples devotion & then a prayer & prayer for all our children. God Bless
12pm daily – place wherever I am
5:45 am basement.
6am-ish. With my job causing me to be up all night at times, and also get interrupted when I have prayer time at work, it becomes more sporadic. Because of this I could use some prayer from you guys for consistency. I am more consistent when I have prayer time at home the days that I don’t work.
Ryan, I am prying for you!
6 AM. Location, bathroom
Toby HILARIOUS! 😆 That’s the first time I have heard that one—but I get it.

Location is in the living room overlooking the lake. (In our little home we don’t really have many spots! )

At my home
I set my alarm for 6:00 am.
5 out of 7 days of the week I commit to praying at about 2:20 P.M. I will try to remember that time during the other 2 days.
There you David. Set your alarm and away you go!
Great job David!
Don,
I understand the whole praying out loud, but I find it helpful it makes me organize my thoughts and speak them it also overcomes being in a prayerful attitude.
Mike
There you go, Michael. That is the benefit I have found too. Forming complete thoughts and sentences that I cannot do in my mind when I don’t speak outloud.
YES!
Good

Hello GC Leander men’s group. This is a test comment. I prayed, and I prayed outloud. Don’t think I did 5 minutes, because I don’t prefer to be so legalistic. Its uncomfortable for me to pray out loud, by myself. I have only prayed out loud for meals with others, or small group prayer time in person. Praying out loud alone is something I don’t know if I will get used to or like. God hears my prayers whether quietly or out loud. I have been praying quietly for 50 + years, so don’t know if this old dog can change now at this stage…
Some of these small steps help men in a variety of ways, brother. Keep charging ahead, Don. 50 years is a great milestone!👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼
Thanks for the encouragement and not judging…
Keep moving forward! 👊🏼
I selected 6:00 a.m. at the dining room table. Its a quiet place before everyone wakes up, and I can jot down a note in my notebook of a truth learned after reading a passage of scripture.
Mon/Thur 8:30 at rec. center; Wed 9:30 at home; Tue/Fri/Sat 9am in ofc. at home; Sun 6:30 before church at home
7:00 a.m.
Family room
I am praying after my daily work out during my walk around cool down around my pool. It typically happens at 5 pm. This is something new for me and I think I can do this daily.
Nice! Should be good! You get spiritual and physical exercise at the same time.
7 AM in the office
Here we go. 7am tomorrow!
9pm daily prayer in my home office
#BOOM
In my comfy chair downstairs about 6:30 each day. The time may have to be a little earlier or later some days but that’s my target.
Couch downstairs upon waking 6:30am
Or perhaps in my comfy chair at my desk in my office, with biblegateway at my fingertips.
On my drive to work with the radio off. On days I don’t work it will be first thing in the morning prior to the family waking up so I have quiet time. Probably 6am.
Drive to work
That’s my favorite place to pray. 👊🏼👊🏼
Cool I can pray out loud and be prepared to face the workplace with a Godly mind. Focus on the light not the darkness. Ephesians 5:3-20
You were listening!!!!
Just don’t close your eyes while praying 😆😆
Great advice
There’s no better time than the 1st thing in the morning for me in my own home office.
The cares of the day haven’t had time to distract me or interfere with my thoughts or disrupt my devotions. I also places my focus directly on Jesus and I’m am then able to interact with Him more easily throughout the day.
Let’s go Rene! 👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼
First thing after waking up in the kitchen before doing anything to give thanks, praise and gratitude before starting my day.
Let’s go, Carl 👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼
9 AM – weekdays… after I get my wife and the girls off to school… in the living room or dining room… WITH my coffee.
good job Jason 👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼
Drinking my morning coffee. Typically 4:30am
My scheduled time for prayer every day is 8:00AM at the church office.
Morning when I wake up. noon wherever I am at at that time. Evening again wherever I am at and bedtime before I go to bed.
7am daily in my bedroom. It’s my normal alarm and I feel i need prayer the most when I start my day.
0530
Office
5:00 am – home office – quiet and no interruptions
7ish AM in my car
My prayer times are at 9&3 pm. The new standard for driving is to have your hands at 9&3 on the steering wheel. It reminds me to let Jesus take the wheel in my life. We have A community room that is quiet at those times I will spend 7 minutes and 14 seconds…based on 2nd Chronicles…if my people who are called will humble themselves and pray….
Chris, I love this post. Way to go and easy to remember! 👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼
My prayer time will be at 12 noon Monday thru Friday in my office. 5 pm Saturday and Sunday in my bedroom. These time will get me out of my normal routine and challenge me to focus on something greater.
7 AM every morning. I work from home and the rest of my family are gone to school or work.
Done
I have scheduled and location for my prayer time
5:30 am after I exercise and before anyone else is awake in my garage so I can pray as loud as I want.
5 Am prayer time. In the Den
2:00 PM in the study
Jerry – 6:50am – Family Room
7am I’m nmy home office or 630 in my car on days I commute to the office. I find comfort in starting my day with God and I’m more focused in the AM.
I’m going to commit to praying out loud on my drive to church each day. It takes me about 10 minutes to arrive which should be perfect.
10pm in my basement
Jordan, you are a night owl for sure. ⚡️
Morning at my outdoor living area
I have set 7:30 AM for my prayer time and have put it on my calendar. I’m vacillating on the place – either my upstairs office or our family room in the basement. I’m leaning toward the office is more private but it has more distractions. I’ll move if I find the distractions are too great to allow focusing on what I’m praying about.
Living room when I wake up 5:45-6am.
5am in my easy chair in the family room
10 Pm- My bedroom
6am in my den. No one else is awake and I can focus without any distractions.
8:30am in my office. I chose this time so that I can start my work day off each day in prayer.
8:00 A.M. In our computer/craft room. My wife starts working at that time.
3:00 PM
Computer room
Quiet time
“all in”
Early Morning during walk
0730am, my home office.
6 am in my living room chair
6:45 AM at the Soccer Park one block from my house, because I’ll be more comfortable praying out loud there, than inside my house so early in the morning.
I always pray during my long commute into work.
On my drive in to work. There is rarely any quiet time at home with 4 kids and their activities.
8:45am every weekday, 9:00am every Saturday, and 1:00pm every Sunday, at my home every office every day.
Rob – 8am in my Home Office
5:30am
Living room in front of fireplace.
2:00 am, I work 2nd shift so by the time I get home, shower, get a bite to eat I’m off to the bedroom to pray and then to sleep.
In the “blue room” each morning at 6:15.
7:35 – Office (Before Work)
6am in my home office. Early morning is the only time that is not fraught with interruptions, since I work from home.
6am I am with you
Game room at 6:00 am
6am before working out in my home office.
5:45am everyone is sleeping and the house is quite!
8AM
11pm, bedroom
So I had already chosen a time and place to pray everyday but I may need to adjust somehow. I had been praying in my car on the way to and from work everyday, but now that it is the weekend i don’t have that commute time. I am trying to figure out a plan for weekends now. The kids are all up in my grill from the moment i wake up until i put them down so i may have to do my weekend prayers in the evening after i go to bed.
6:00am, family room couch, because it’s a new day.
5:45am, kitchen table
Scheduled for 7:30am in my family room (very quiet in my house at that time).
A few minutes past 8am when everyone else in my home has not waken up yet and and get some significant quiet time to pray.
In the car to work, I take 5 to 10 minutes praying. I can pray as loud as I want as I am with the LORD alone at that time.
At 6 am in my bedroom when I first wake up. I can’t think of a better way to start my day and a secondary positive will be to build some discipline into my life by starting my day earlier.
6:30 am in my basement
It 30 mins before my family gets up to get ready for school. My basement is my oasis.
10:45am
Break time at work, in my car so I am alone.
900am in my bedroom; it is quiet and the house is empty. it is me and God alne together.
7 AM in my living room
I try to always pray first thing in the morning before I even get out of bed. Great way to start the day. I also try to pray in bed before I fall asleep. Sometimes it’s just what I need to help fall asleep and quite often I fall asleep in the middle of prayer. At both times I try to say the Lord’s Prayer by the nearest window to where I’m sleeping as I travel a lot for work.
In my car on the way to work at 7:30 am.
5am in my living room before anyone in the house is up and before I head out to work during the week.
I have set my prayer time to be 6:00 am daily in my home office (aka my prayer room). It offers a quite place of refuge.
Way to go!
7am every morning in my office
I am choosing the back deck at 7 AM because it is when nature comes alive and before I get my day started.
My prayer time starts at 4:00 am and goes on through out the day.
Good time!!!
8 am, picnic table
4 pm at the Red River picnic area 7 days
There you go Jonathan!!!
I pray when I get in bed after work. I work nights so I get home and shower and get in bed. This prayer time allows me to get everything off my chest from the day and clear my mind. It gives me a sense of peace knowing I have just given all my thanks, worries, and requests to God. I also like to pray as soon as I wake up each day. Even if it’s just a short prayer, normally asking for God to be with me throughout my thoughts and actions during the day ahead.
Tyler looks like you got started we are excited to have you!
10pm before bed on my knees alone to prepare my mind for what to meditate on and 6:30am to begin the day day in service mindset

Outside each day. Walk around neighborhood on weekends and when at work M-F, I will walk around outside with phone ear piece so as not to be that weird guy who talks to himself.
And at 2:30 pm, because mornings are crazy
6am first thing in morning to start my day!
My Prayer location is in my garage. When its hot, I pray in the living room with my Bible open.
I begin approx. 1200. I do my best to have a devotional daily.
If I don’t it in the daytime, it probably won’t happen on that day…because I will get busy doing nothing.
I have chosen 12:00 for my prayer time. Earlier would be better but I couldn’t find a time I can do consistently.
9 A.M. – To start my day with God by my side. Pray in my living room beside my couch. The place I’m sleeping and reading about god from. I lied to myself and told myself I would never be there.
6am is my prayer time and my location is in the basement of my house. During this time in the morning it’s usually quite and less distractions
Be strong in the Lord and in the power of his might (Eph. 6:10)

Matt
12:30pm in my work or home office
6am before work in bedroom
12pm at lunch at my desk
It’s a bit difficult for me having three young children. The house is quietest once they’re all asleep. That’s when I’ll do pray in the living room in my secret corner.
430 am, spare bedroom. Put Jesus first and he will be first all day long.
I tend to pray throughout the day, but 3 days a week I am up very early for work and have a 20 minutes of very quiet time for prayer and devotions. Also on my daily walk or bike ride, as Jesus is available 21/7
6 a.m. in my office
I’ve decided on morning prayer since I’m up early. I’d like it to be the first thing I do, so 0515.
I’m scheduled it for 8:45 AM when I am entering my classroom for the day.
9am in my home office.
So I’m a police officer and work a crazy schedule so on my work days it will be at 3am in my cruiser and off days will be at 4pm in my bedroom because no kids are allowed in my room.
2-5pm range office
It’s usually right at 6:40AM daily a few minutes after waking up and just after saying the serienty prayer then I do devotionals in my bedroom . This makes for a successful day by allowing me to allow my direction to be lead the right way pointed toward the light giving me an opportunity for increased success.
10:30 pm, in bed
I feel that this is a time I need to pray most, when I’m starting to unpack what’s happening in my life
6:15 am praying on way to work and 3:30pm praying on way home from work?
7:30 a.m. – my home office
Pray at 7:00 AM in my home office.
I have my scheduled devotion and prayer time every morning at 6:15 am. I love the peace and quiet time to set read and pray to God before my day starts.
Selected time:6:00 pm for 35 days at home.
Nanyuki,Kenya.
9 pm
My den
7:00 am. The time I usually get out of bed. I will spend the first ten mins of my day on my knees in prayer

10pm – bed

Time is set for every day at 8:00 am.
My prayer time is 06:00 in the screen porch in my back yard.
This is a peaceful place where I feel close to the Lord , and I can start my day feeling his peace.
10:25AM at my desk for a morning break from Work
9:00PM in my dining room. Kids are asleep by then. It’s quiet and I’m almost always home at that time.

730am in my home office
810-825am at my office before I dive into my day.
I am in college and so I pray in my room when I wake up and then go to sleep. Start and end the day on God’s watch.
6:45 am, in my living room. We have a special spot where my wife and I pray before I leave for work.
I pray multiple times a day. When I first wake up, I start my day in prayer. When I walk to and from work, I pray continually, I pray while at work to guide my words dealing with certain coworkers, patients, families.
I’m retired so I pray throughout the day. Alot of times early in the morning. I pray in the bedroom, living room and the dining room. Being retired prayer is whenever the Holy Spirit prompts me to pray or I just feel like talking to God.
5a—living room
6 am living room recliner!
No distractions
As a truck driver my schedule varies, so I am choosing 30 min before I go to sleep as my prayer time.

I set up 0630 at my house when I can feel free to go though my emotions.
I am starting for two weeks and go from there
I will wake 30 minutes earlier daily and have my prayer time in my home office.
7am
Home office
12:50PM
I work mostly mornings and I get off no later than 12:00pm. I’ll be off, home, close to my bedroom, and maybe hungry but I need to consume God’s word before I eat (Matthew 4). If it’s Sunday, church should be over and while I may not have access to my bedroom, my car can be a decent substitute
Shower 7:00 am
My prayer time is 5:30 in the morning before anyone else is up. My living room or back patio serves as my quiet time place
Great lesson. Morning prayer sets the tone for the whole day for me.
My home office at 7:00 am
I have set my time at 9:00 AM in my home office. I now teach from home.
I pray every morning at 6:30 in my van on the way to work.
I have prayer time every morning at 6 am alone. This is a time when no one else is around. I am however setting an alarm to have prayer at noon and evening everyday. Once a day just isn’t, enough. I am in Virginia Beach, VA.

I am sure this blog has touched all the internet viewers, its really pleasant post on building up new web site.
5:30 -6 am
Bedroom
8 AM in my formal living room. It is the warmest and quietest place in my home.
I have been trying to do this everyday but I just want to play after school. I am trying to catch up A.S.A.P. ! Sorry.
7 pm when I wake up and before I got to bed are consistent. I usually pray at various times throughout the day.

Because it is time nobody is up and gives me the 1 on 1 time with God

In my office .. I start in the morning when I get up usually 6:30-7:00 am .. daily devotionals and prayer..
6:30 Family Room – No computer or phone for distractions. Peace and quiet before the family is up.
7am after my devotion in my room
Every morning after my shower (so about 6:30) in my bedroom. I would like to pray as soon as I get out of bed, but I need the shower to rouse me enough to really mentally engage.
I am the same way. Maybe some coffee too?
Week days 9am in the car
Weekdays I will have my son join me in prayer.
weekends 8am at the living room.
That’s a good plan, Seare!
I set my time to pray for 10pm (or when I go to bed) in my bedroom every night.
6am in the den. Its quiet for about 30m before everyone is up and about.
Every day at 7:30 till 8:00 & 21:00 till 21:30. My living room, lots of sunlight, I feel most comfortable there.
I want to start my day with God and end my day with God.
Prayer alarm set for 8am, in my car on the way to work
Awesome Brother!

Get up 1/2 hour early and in my clothes closet, which is my prayer closet.
7:15 am
Basement family room – no interruuptions
I will pray at 7:30 every day. During the work week, I will be in my car driving to work.
I’m starting to get it now. Wish I was onboard from day 1 because I am really 3 or 4 days behind everyone else. Don’t know how to catch up. Its ok. I will be praying at 9 or 9:30 pm in bedroom. Great name Dan!
My time will be bedtime, in bedroom.
10pm, bedroom – fits routine
8AM living room with comfortable chairs and plenty of natural light.
7:15am – Pray at the Kitchen table. This should fit into most of my mornings routine.
Morning in den
Mark: 4am, office
Location: in my car
Time can vary
10:50am…every weekday
My prayer time will be at 6am each morning in my bedroom. The reason I’m choosing this time and location is because I want my first interaction of the day to be the Lord, talking and listening to what He has for my day.
05:30 @ kitchen table
High noon, because that’s when I take my heart medication (a good way to remember to thank God for another day He has given me)

In the morning and before bedtime at home
In the morning and before bedtime at home
I chose 5am because it is a good time in the morning when I am awake. I chose our living room because it is the only place in our home where I can accomplish being alone without waking up my wife.
During my drive time to work.
7:30AM
My truck – because it is uninterrupted and physically separated from others.
I’m ready to act, I’m all in

9:15am – Office
7:30AM | Driveway/Garage
I will pray daily at the dining room table at 7:10am
My schedule is so complicated with church, work and family it s hard to find a single time and place to commit to. I know that sounds like “I don’t have time to talk to God” And I can’t believe I sound like that to be honest. I usually just pray throughout the day and on the way in to work but weekends get mixed up because I have no routine. But I am nervous because I want this to work and if I choose a time during the day I will be at work, then what about the weekends? I am also afraid that if choose early in the morning and I am too tired or running late then the time won’t be quality. So I ask myself am going committed to this or not? Do I truly want to grow my relationship with God? Yes, I am and I do. God has done everything for me and I can surely set a specific time to talk with Him. So my prayer time will be 4:00 am in my bedroom.
Monday through Friday at 6:30am in my van during my 45 minute drive to work
Saturday and Sunday at 7:30 am in the prayer room in my house.
I pray in my work van because it is a sanctuary for me. It is early in the morning when God’s mercies are new, and I can confess and ask for forgiveness
8:00am either in my office or in my car on the way to work.
I pray when I first get up and before bed for at least 10 to 15 minutes. I choose my living room since no one is up or around at the appointed times
7am breakfast table
Before I go to sleep and before I get out of bed. Lunchtime many days in my office.
I have a one hour commute to my job. I like to do my prayers then. Helps me start my day out right.
So, I couldn’t get to the challenge until now.
I am setting 6am as my time and my kitchen as the place.
I think this is the only time I can be in the same place.
Ted
My time is in my office. Usually 5:30 -6:30 am Sometimes a bit later.
Prayer Time: 7:30 a.m. (later on Saturday) in a private room because it’s free from distractions. Bible study in my car, while waiting for it to warm up on weekday mornings. More extensive Bible study on weekends at my desk because it has a computer with access to Bible versions and online research.
I pray at night before I fall a sleep. That’s where I feel less distracted.
I scheduled my prayer for 6:00 am in my home office, that’s before my wife and some get up so it’s quiet in the house and it’s before the day starts.
5:45am — Home office.
Prayed in the evening at my upper room quit place
4am in my living room
You’ll find this strange but I sit on the commode every morning and use that time as my prayer/devotional place. It’s the downstairs commode away from the family and a quiet part of the home.
I pray every morning early in my front room. My family is not up yet and there are no distractions. It is where I can look outside as well to take in God’s creation.

5am or 1pm. In my car. I have an hour drive to work each day and it’s a good quite place to talk to God about the day ahead.
I will plan for 6a on workdays and 8a on weekends. We have a couch in our bedroom that is a good place to sit and pray.
I plan on praying each night around 10 pm. This way Sarena and I can pray together if she is feeling well enough or I will go into the basement and pray alone if she is not feeling well enough, or already asleep. The biggest distractions are my kids and a new puppy. By 10 the puppy and the kids will all be asleep. The time and place will stay the same for weekends.

6:15 after a workout, on the couch drinking coffee. I gotta get it in while im more awake after a workout and before the kids are awake.
That is an awesome routine. Working out is one of the hardest things for me to do, but I really like your idea of knocking it out before quiet time ⚡⚡⚡

2100 on the deck.
6am daily with my morning coffee in the kitchen. Using my calendar to ensure I don’t forget.
M-F 5:30 am, SS 7:30 am. Basement Family Room. It is a quiet time and a quiet location. I can pray and journal my prayers. I can pray for my “oikos” or family circle. Often, I get too distracted with my daily wants, needs, and immediate concerns. This will give me an opportunity to pray specifically for others by name.
Unlike Ryan, my auto-pilot driving skills NEVER distract me from prayer. 🙂
I’m a very distracted pray-er. The car is actually where I experience the least mental distractions.
Planning on 8:45am in the car for workdays/basement for offdays.
6 am in my living room. It is quiet and No distractions since my wife and kids are still sleeping.
Primary: 5am/Home Office/because it’s apart, quiet, and comfortable
Secondary: 12pm/Car/same reason
I am going to plan on a 10:30pm timeline. Gracie is usually in bed by then and I should not have any reasons or distractions from keeping me from doing it.
Usually before I go to bed. About 7 to 830 . Before I go to work about 3 to 4 am
My time will be in the morning from 5:00am – 5:30am before I head out for the day. I have an area on my rug that I will use as my Prayer Zone.
I’m choosing 9:30 PM in my living room. Life’s distractions will be few and will give me time to reflect on the day and pray for the future ahead.
7am before breakfast
4am first thing in the morning
11am
My morning always starts off so busy. It’s a good middle of day time that helps me reset from all the worldly distractions that may already be effecting my walk for the day.
7:15 am. At my home desk right after I fill out my daily planner.
11:30 PM At the Living Room couch, not on the couch. I’m a late person and alone at that time. I can review the prayer requests from the email list for the day and include them. Of course as needed through the day, where ever when ever.
Prayer time early am before work. Time varies with when I leave. Duane McPheeters
7am in my living room. Good way to start the day.
7am
Kitchen table. A start for the quiet time and the day.
7AM on my living room couch
Normally, I wake up and begin to pray for my day, my week, etc. I always have to give thanks to him for allowing me to see another day. Aside from this prayer time, I want to devote a certain amount of time each day to ensure that my God receives the time and praise he deserves. I’ll be challenging myself to do that over the next 35 days!
Definitely accepting to challenge to devote specific time just to pray and have a conversation with God everyday.
6:00 am In my office.
I’m setting my prayer alarm to 5:00am to kick start my day!!! I’m truly convinced that prayer works and that this consistency will help me grow while connecting with my Heavenly Father.
Yessir, I def want to get up earlier to kick start my day by talking w/ God!
I agree I definitely would like to start getting up earlier to pray and start my day/week.
Between 9:00 & 10:00, I always find myself talking to God & praying while on my way to work or while sitting in the office before starting the work day.
We got this my brother!!!
Starting strong!
12noon during lunch break
5am when i first wake up, before the kids are awake.
12:30 PM while on my lunch sometimes in the break room at work and sometimes in my car. I find that taking my lunch in my car allows for a quiet spot and no interruptions.
9 a.m.; Home office, or bedroom closet, as necessary.
5:00 AM in my Living Room.
10 pm
I’m going to try to make my prayer time at 7 or 7:15AM in my office — it’s generally pretty quiet there at that point as not many people are in yet, and I can close the door to have a good private quiet time. The only challenges will be a) getting up and out the door in time; and b) not allowing myself to be distracted by the work day ahead. I considered designating my drive time in the morning as my prayer time, but I struggle to stay as focused on prayer then as I’m distracted by actually driving! On the weekends, I’ll plan for 7:30 in the living room.
Yeah, in the car in the morning is probably my best time so I’m planning for that. No worries on distracted driving here either .
Weekends, I’m thinking in the bathroom around 8am, cause honestly that’s probably the only quiet place we can get right now for real haha. Josie’s up and will be a distraction by like 7.
5:30 AM next 35 days in my lower level office
I will be praying at 5:30 am, in my living room. Like John said, I want to incorporate more movement and even singing in my prayer life. This time and space give me the freedom to do that.
Swalley, you just took it up a level! Singing is a great idea. Often I just whisper, but I think signing and praying out loud might really embolden us to take on the day.
4:00pm after work, in the bedroom. Nice and quiet, no one around. Just me and God
6:30 am Driving to work
Home office, daily at 6:30 am. It’s the place I can have to myself in the house and a time I will need to plan around to keep. Once school is back in, I typically leave by 7:15 to drop my son, so it will fit in the middle of my prep time.
10 pm in bed. The quietest most peaceful time of my day.
Love this Koch! Movement and physical position I think is often neglected in prayer time.
Thanks brother! I always default to want to sit in my “comfortable” chair. I really want to change that.
0530 in my family room
⚡⚡⚡
7:00am. First thing in the morning.
9:30
Home
I think the best time for me is early morning between 8 and 9:00 a.m. when I 1st get up. It’s the quietest time of the day and I have time to relax and reflect for the prayer time. I generally like to do it in my living Room where there’s no distractions are it’s quiet.
6:30 a.m. each morning in my F-150 on my way to work. It is quiet, peaceful and I’m never interrupted. Been doing F150 time for years and it works well for me.
9:00pm as usually the kids are asleep and quiet enough to break away to find a place in the house such as the kitchen table.
7:05 am in my basement. Kids get ready upstairs for school and it is before I go to work.
6:15am – breakfast, bible, prayer at the table
6:00 am during my chair time.
Always in the am before work. I have this comfy rocking chair one that brings me to a sense of tranquility and calm.
Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed.
Mark 1:35
I know for me I’m not consistent in my prayer time. I’m going to start rising early and finding a solitary place to pray without distractions. Even the coffee will have to wait!
5:30 in basement den
tim 6am bedroom

Prayer Time: As I make the bed … why? It’s a reminder that every morning, our GREAT Lord “resets” my life. He does it every day. It’s called grace.
Then again as I get into bed. I talk to Him about my messy day.
The next morning … I’m “reset” by HIS reckless love.
I pray everyday as soon as I wake up,while I am still in bed I start to talk to God and then I will start my day

12:00 noon Mon-Fri I will do a prayer walk to (a) get up & out (b) see God’s beauty where I am (c) be intentional about bringing God to those I am with that day. Good reminder for me that my time with God isnt only at Church or a “safe” place but where I am, everywhere I am.

6:45. The car ride into work and the first thing on the weekends. I chose the car ride in because it’s doable, and because I drop the kids off at school and can incorporate them into beginning their day with prayer.
I like it Bill! I love that this challenge is hands-free for the most part. A car ride into work sounds like a great idea.
Bill, its good to meet you:) I really like the doable nature of the goal, and the fact that you get to incorporate your kids with this as well.
OOPS – In my last post I spelled pray – prey. DAAAAAAA – More coffee needed 🙂
Since I work from home I just set my Daily prayer reminder to be the 1st thing on my work calendar so I can prey before there is time to get distracted.

Usually in my “office” in the morning before the day gets away from me
5:30AM, bedroom
I will have to change my schedule because I currently get up at 5:50AM, but God is important enough to change my schedule for. I get up just before 6AM daily right now to be sure I am on the same wake up cycle as my kids because I drive them to school when it is too cold to walk, but I will walk with them when it warms up again, after the snow melts.

6:15 am living room
Due to not knowing my work schedule in the winter (it could be 3 in the afternoon or 3 am) I haven’t until now set a time for prayer which allowed many of my days to get away from me without prayer.
So I have set 5:30 am in my house office . It can always get moved for the day or days that I have to plow snow or salt.
My chair time with God’s word and prayer is at 6am.
6 AM in my living room. Kids are still asleep, so it’s a quiet place to start my day right.
