Good "program" of prayer?

[Jeffzim]

I’m looking to increase my prayer, and I am someone who loves structure and following directions. For example, I never really exercised until I discovered “couch to 5k”, which requires no creativity, just obedience.

Variety and choice are daunting to me. I know there isn’t “one right way” to pray, and that’s exactly my problem. I want to get past this personal barrier, this voice that says, “if you only do X every day, then you’re missing out on Y and Z”.

Is there a program that helps people like me work out a routine that includes some Rosary, some Lectio, maybe some LotH? Maybe something used by a lay ecclesial movement or an adaptation from a religious community?

I wouldn’t advise doing just some LOTH’s, or Lectio Divina.

Prayer is more than just reciting words, but being aware of the presence of God as you pray. It’s an act of love.

Try the LOTH’s, and at least do Morning and Evening prayer, daily. You can follow with the rosary.

Whatever you chose, making time is a discipline and you’ll only get out of it what you put into it.
