On the 11th day til Christmas, this is our day of prayer.
Above and beyond you normal prayers. Your goal is to triple your prayer time. Whatever it originally is... triple it. Do it for God!
In preparation for the celebration of the birth of our Savior, when you pray, focus on Him and His love and what He means to you.
Here are a few ideas that may help you out.
Choose a different location to pray
Choose a different prayer position. Some may say your posture is not important... well prove them wrong....
