Mornings 11:15AM – Leave office and walk around office back parking lot.

Gary Wildermuth

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.

Terry

Brian Linn

In the early morning. In my chair in front of window looking out into the woods.

Craig

6 am on the back patio

Troy Longen

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.

Todd Helm

7:00PM my bedroom

Gregory Whittet

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

In the woods at work

4:45 am in the basement. First thing I will do in the mornin and the most consistent available time of my day

Josh

6a in office.

Kory

Between 5&6am. Either on the couch in the living room during the winter or on the back deck when it’s nice out.

Jon

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

Caleb Ness

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

Lawson Bruxvoort

2:00. This is when I get off of work, so before the rest of my day starts I’ll pray in my room.

James Shadden

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.

Dave

First thing in the morning (5:30) at my dining room table with a cup of coffee.

Ola Bakare

6am
@ the side of my bef.

Robert Wolfe

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.

Aaron

I will pray at 5:30am EAT before my wife and kids are awake on our second floor balcony.

Garrett

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.

Jose Marreiros

I will pray on my drive to work, and before bed everyday

AJ Reilly

I am setting my alarm and creating a calendar invite for 2200 each night and I will pray in my office area at home.

kirk kingsley

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.

Ryan Kernan

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.

Mike Welch

My prayer time is 7:55 a.m. at my desk.

Jon Carr

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.

Allan

6:05am. Back patio.
I wanted my time and place to be close/similar to Jesus’ time and place, outside before sunrise.

mark

Just starting my 35 day challenge.

Ken Winegarden

Can I pray while riding my indoor exercise bike or should it be seperate

Ken Winegarden

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

Monte

12pm daily – place wherever I am

Ryan DeZwsrte

5:45 am basement.

Ryan Volk

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.

Great job David!

Michael J Herrera

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

Don Neal

Good

Don Neal

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…

Don Neal

Thanks for the encouragement and not judging…

Don Neal

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.

Joel

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

Bob mccrossen

7:00 a.m.
Family room

MIke

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.

Don Neal

Nice! Should be good! You get spiritual and physical exercise at the same time.

Paul Gonzales

7 AM in the office

David

9pm daily prayer in my home office

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.

Neal

Couch downstairs upon waking 6:30am

Neal

Or perhaps in my comfy chair at my desk in my office, with biblegateway at my fingertips.

Gary

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.

Mark

Drive to work

Mark

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

Mark

Great advice

René

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.

Carl Nowicki II

First thing after waking up in the kitchen before doing anything to give thanks, praise and gratitude before starting my day.

Jason Hurd

9 AM – weekdays… after I get my wife and the girls off to school… in the living room or dining room… WITH my coffee.

Tj

Office

David Pett

5:00 am – home office – quiet and no interruptions

Mark

7ish AM in my car

Chris Fleck

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….

Gordon

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.

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.

Jordan Goka

10pm in my basement

Rusty Moore

Morning at my outdoor living area

Jerry

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.

hammesrb

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.

David Steinquist

6:00am, family room couch, because it’s a new day.

BRD

5:45am, kitchen table

HDL

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.

Onesphore

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.

Tracy

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.

Jerrold Johnson

6:30 am in my basement

It 30 mins before my family gets up to get ready for school. My basement is my oasis.

Richard

10:45am

Scott Lokey

7 AM in my living room

Cory Baron

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.

Peter Byerly

In my car on the way to work at 7:30 am.

Thaddeus Kennedy

5am in my living room before anyone in the house is up and before I head out to work during the week.

Phil Salet

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.

Neal Barnes

8 am, picnic table

Jonathan Creel

4 pm at the Red River picnic area 7 days

Tyler Richardson

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.

Brad

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

My Prayer location is in my garage. When its hot, I pray in the living room with my Bible open.

If I don’t it in the daytime, it probably won’t happen on that day…because I will get busy doing nothing.

Paul Birchall

I have chosen 12:00 for my prayer time. Earlier would be better but I couldn’t find a time I can do consistently.

Kyle Smallcombe

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.
