Prayer

In the Internet age you can spend the whole day "surfing." There's enough funny stuff on YouTube to entertain you all day long. You can make Facebook the center of your life. It's easier than ever to let prayer be squeezed out. If we don't have focused time with God, we lose our edge. Not to pray is to say that we don't need God, that we can handle things by ourselves. "If we grasp the importance of prayer," writes Simon Guillebaud, "it will undergird our very existence and act as the engine-room for all our activities, such that we will be too busy not to pray."
