In the ordinary course of things God does not appoint a fish to shallow us into the place and time of prayer. We have to find our own place, carve out our own time. It is hard because, however necessary we believe it to be, it does not feel necessary. On most days of our lives there will be neither the pressure of pain nor the lure of ecstasy. And there will be plenty of other pressures and lures to do something quite other and different. ~ Eugene H. Peterson - Under the Unpredictable Plant.
