Pray the Atypical

Where do you pray?

When do you pray?

I love the prayers of children. They pray the unthinkable. They pray the abnormal.
   They choose the atypical prayer.
As a child I thought of prayer very simply. There was The Lord's Prayer. There was my father's prayer at dinner every night. And there was the prayer before bed. Each had a script, each had a purpose, and each had a time to be said.

The Bible has a very different view of prayer. Jesus teaches to "pray without ceasing." Without ceasing isn't even a very distant relative to thrice daily keeps you saved. Jesus prayed everywhere he went, sometimes in a garden, sometimes in a boat, but regardless of where, it was often and with purpose.

I used to think that prayer was a meal time and a bedtime activity. But when the thought came to my mind this morning, I realized I do my most avid praying in the shower and walking around.

So, where do you pray? Your answers might suprise you.
