Thomas L. McDonald at God and the Machine started a series called “How I Pray”. As Tom said this is a “shameless rip off” of the Lifehacker series “How I work”.
Every Monday in How I Pray, I ask various Catholics about their prayer routines, their prayer lives, and their experience of prayer.
In the first week of the new series he subjected himself to the questions to be answered, in the second week it was my turn to answer How I Pray and this week it is Jimmy Akin’s turn.
Tom’s and Jimmy’s answers are a nice read and I look forward to further entries in this series. It is really excellent to see concrete examples of how other work out their prayer life and what helps them.

Hey Jeff! How are you doing these days?
That’s kind of the way I always started letters for my mother, (God Bless her soul), when she asked me to write a letters to our relatives… anyway, sinner vic had started a comment here on this post and truth be known, i never even read any of your links that you worked so hard to provide… except for a couple of Tweets and to tell you the truth, i was a little UP SET about what i read… kind of reminded me of the time sinner vic told me that he wanted a watch for Christmas… so “I” let him… Long story short, “I” had written a fair size comment that “I” was kind of proud of and “IT” all disappeared leaving me with a completely green screen… most people would have been very upset but as usual, i put my paranoia aside and simply told my wife in so many words that “IT” happened again!… could she please call my boss and tell him that “I” wouldn’t make “IT” to work this morning cause “I” had a big process to start up again… “I” hit Ctri, Alt, Del and eventually found your site… don’t tell any body but while my new puter was starting, “I” turned around and said out loud… What goes around, comes around!?… I won’t tell you that I quietly and politely complained to God and asked Him if “IT” was His Angels doing this and long story short, as I started to write, what “I” had written popped up again… Long story shorter, “I” won’t be writting 1/10th of what “I” was planning to write…
“I” hear YA! Victor that would certain be unusual for you cause you always keep your taughts, “I” mean thoughts to yourself…lol

God Bless Peace
Jeff on second thought we must all say a prayer for sinner vic and we could also start off by asking our Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God to have mercy on him cause he really is a sinner.
Truth be known, sinner vic is on occasions like a kid wanting to start off swimming in the deep end without even having read any spiritual classics at the beginning as to how he should proceed. To be fair he does re read many Daily Gospel yearly readings although at the time he’s reading he will never admit that they are often way over his Right and Left Temple head cells. Long story short, you might agree that he does often believe but we must all pray and ask The Good Lord to help his unbelief.
Having been an atheist once upon a time yourself, I’m sure that you probably could understand that converting knowledge of our Catholic faith into a lived faith is a constant struggle for sinner vic… longer story shorter, you might also confirm that “IT” is but a struggle that is helped by prayers from all of God’s Angels and Saints… yes even when we are distracted now and then by dry prayers can still help his sins.
Please accept my apology for sinner vic’ often silly behavior cause truth be known “I am” totally responsible for his often provocative spiritual reality daily time travelling cells performances.
God Bless you and yours
