After a bit of a conversion my prayer life really improved, but recently I’m finding it difficult to pray consistently in the evenings, and have found myself falling asleep on occasions.
I work full time, am a mom, and the only time I have ‘free’ is when the kids are in bed at night.
I am so tired then however which affects my prayer life.
I have changed positions, changed type of prayer eg reading scriptures instead of rosary etc. I still am too tired to get the benefit from anything.
I am praying throughout the day and am in constant conversation with Christ. However this isn’t enough and I need to set aside time for structured prayer.
My only option is to get up very early to pray before the kids get up. I know if I want to do this enough it should be easy but in reality I know I will struggle. It’s winter, it’s dark, it’s cold. Also when you have young kids who don’t always sleep it’s important to take the sleep when you get it!
So has anyone any words of wisdom?
Do any of you get up very early to pray? What advice can you give to make it easier and to inspire and motivate?
I know praying to the Lord should be enough motivation, but I just need an extra push!
