"Ben Campbell Johnson speaks of learning to 'pray with our lives.' He suggests a basic process to 'integrate the life of prayer into the ordinary events and decisions of everyday life.'
Gather the Day: Identify the ten or twelve major events of your day, including prayer, particular conversations, meetings, meals, work, and other activities. List them.
Review the Day: Reflect upon each occurrence listed, without judging yourself, avoiding feelings, or making excuses. This is the actual substance of your daily life.
Give Thanks for the Day: Thank God for each part of your day, for your life, and for God's presence in the midst of it.
Confess Your Sin: Acknowledge your faults in thought, word, and deed toward God, your neighbor, and yourself (you might add the creation, too).
Seek the Meaning of the Events: Reflect on the larger significance of each event in your life, asking yourself such questions as, What is God saying to me? What am I being called to do? How is this connected with the rest of my life? Write down what comes to mind."
