Purpose Driven Life

I have joined forces with a few guys at work and we are reading the Purpose Driven Life. The latest chapter talks about becoming Gods best friend and how you can do it. One thing it says is that you can't do it just by going to church every sunday, then walking away and forgetting about God the rest of the week. Here are a couple of things that it says you can do:

• Be in constant conversation with him - talk with him all day, every day.
• Breath Prayers - These are short prayers that you can memorize and say throughout the day to keep you in that constant conversation with God. ("I'm depending on you", "I want to know you", "I belong to you", "Help me trust you")
• Use short phrase of Scripture ("For me to live is Christ", "You will never leave me", "You are my God"
• Pray as often as possible - We all live busy lives but we can pray more than just a set time every day. For example the Monks use the hourly chime of the clock to remind them to pray. We can use our cell phone alarms to set several times throughout the day to pray. It doesn't have to be a long prayer.

I was talking with a friend about it and basically keep it short, simple and often.
