  1. Set Prayers for Set Times Daniel 6:10

  2. Now when Daniel learned that the decree had been published, he went home to his upstairs room where the windows opened toward Jerusalem. Three times a day he got down on his knees and prayed, giving thanks to his God, just as he had done before. • Daniel 6:10

  3. Psalms are no longer used in daily and weekly worship in our churches—there are phrases from the psalms in our popular worship songs but the steady rhythm and deep soul searching of the Psalms is missing... this I believe is a great impoverishment. • NT Wright, The Case for Psalms

  5. But I call to God, and the Lord saves me. Evening, morning and noon I cry out in distress and he hears my voice. • Psalm 55:16-17

  6. In the morning, O Lord, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait in expectation. • Psalm 5:3

  7. The prayer of the morning determines the day. Wasted time, which we are ashamed of, temptations that beset us, weakness and listlessness in our work, disorder and indiscipline in our thinking and our relations with other people very frequently have their cause in neglect of morning prayer.

  8. The organization and distribution of our time will be better for having been rooted in prayer. The temptations which the working day brings with it will be overcome by this break-through to God. Decisions which our work demands will be simpler and easier... • Bonhoeffer in Life Together
