Praying Compline.<\/strong> It was suggested to me a time ago that praying one of the Offices daily would scratch a liturgical itch. I chose Compline<\/a> because I can pretty much guarantee that I’ll have some quiet time after Jon puts Daniel to bed to sit and pray. It’s been a really good discipline because it gives me something that calms me at the end of the day and a time when I can really let loose and pray about the things on my heart. Seeing this article<\/a> today just affirms what I’ve been feeling with this.<\/p>\n

The story behind “Lord, I Need You” from Matt Maher.<\/strong> Why yes, I’m obsessed with this song. How can you tell? Anyway, the song reminded me of the hymn I Need Thee Every Hour<\/a>. It turns out that I was right and there is a connection.<\/p>\n
