Nurture this habit and it'll change your life

Three Ways to nurture this Habit (taken from Tim Keller's recent book on prayer) :

1. "Make every pleasure into a channel of adoration" C.S. Lewis

2. Learn from the "collects" of Thomas Cranmer's Common Book of Prayer

a. The address - a name of God

b. The doctrine - a truth about God's nature that is the basis for the prayer

c. The petition - what is being asked for

d. The aspiration - what good result will come if the request is granted

e. In Jesus' name - this remembers the mediatorial role of Jesus

3. Praising the Attributes of God (see enclosed handout "31 Ways to Praise")
