Pray in a Garden<\/h4>\n<p>Saying your prayers in a new location can be a great way to revitalize your practice and get a new perspective on life. This spring, make a habit of praying amongst the flowers. Go into your own garden, a public park, or a local community garden and find a spot to connect with God. Pick a spot that is comfortable where you can have a little quiet. As you pray, slowly breathe in and out. Savor the scent of life around you\u2014from the nourishing soil to the fragrance of the flowers. Remember that everything around you was made by God, just like you.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/15-inspiring-quotes-for-spring\/\">READ MORE: 25 Joyful Spring Quotes to Inspire You<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 768px\">\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-159245 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Woman-in-yellow-saying-her-spring-prayers-in-front-of-a-window-768x432.jpg\" alt=\"Woman in yellow saying her spring prayers in front of a window\" width=\"768\" height=\"432\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"media-credit\"><\/span>\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h4>2. Pray by the Window<\/h4>\n<p>If you can\u2019t make it out to the garden or park, you can still focus on your prayer time by making a comfortable and inspiring prayer spot in your home. Consider making yours next to a window so you can look out over God\u2019s creation\u2014like the budding flowers, the new green of the trees, and the returning birds. Make the space comfortable with a good chair and pillows. Bring your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shopguideposts.org\/bibles.html\">Bible<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shopguideposts.org\/devotionals.html\">devotional<\/a> to help you pray. Maybe even add a vase of flowers or houseplants to lighten up the space and truly bring you into the spring mindset.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 768px\">\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-159246 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/A-young-mom-says-her-spring-prayers-while-she-pushes-her-daughter-in-a-stroller-768x432.jpg\" alt=\"A young mom says her spring prayers while she pushes her daughter in a stroller\" width=\"768\" height=\"432\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"media-credit\"><\/span>\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h4>3. Pray While You Walk<\/h4>\n<p>With warmer weather finally here, spring is the perfect time to begin or restart your daily walks. Whether you walk in the morning or after a busy day at work, dedicate this time to prayer. As you focus on your steps and breathing, you\u2019ll be surprised how naturally a talk with God will come to fruition. Let the world around you guide your prayers. If you see the tree on your block beginning to finally grow green, thank God for the nature around us that brings us joy and keeps us alive. If you pass by your neighbors, wave hello and say a prayer for them and their family.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/celebrate-spring-with-these-uplifting-books-and-devotionals\/\">READ MORE: Celebrate Spring with These Uplifting Books and Devotionals<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 768px\">\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-159247 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/a-candle-for-saying-spring-prayers-surrounded-by-lilac-flowers-768x432.jpg\" alt=\"a candle for saying spring prayers surrounded by lilac flowers\" width=\"768\" height=\"432\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"media-credit\"><\/span>\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h4>4. Pray with a Candle<\/h4>\n<p>The spring season can be a hectic time. Between school schedules, spring cleaning, and outdoor activities starting up again, it can be difficult to find time to sit down and focus on your prayers. Even if you find the time, your thoughts might drift to busy schedules and errands while you pray. Try using a candle while you pray to keep your attention on your time with God. Here is how to pray with a candle:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Find a quiet spot in your home where you can be alone, even for a few minutes.<\/li>\n<li>Let your mind slow as you light the candle<\/li>\n<li>As you pray, focus on the flame of the candle and its movements.<\/li>\n<li>If you feel your thoughts going astray, simply bring your attention back to the flame and pick up your prayers where you left off.<\/li>\n<li>Be sure to blow the candle out when you are done and set it aside for the next time you need a moment of prayer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 768px\">\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-159248 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Woman-saying-her-spring-prayers-while-facing-up-into-the-rain-768x432.jpg\" alt=\"Woman saying her spring prayers while facing up into the rain\" width=\"768\" height=\"432\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"media-credit\"><\/span>\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h4>5. Pray When It Rains<\/h4>\n<p>\u201cApril showers bring May flowers,\u201d goes the saying. If there\u2019s one thing spring has a lot of, it\u2019s rain. While you may long for the clear days of summer, you can use the rainy spring season to commit to praying more often. Make a prayer habit of praying every time it rains. Every time you hear those raindrops hit the window, step away from your work or chores to say a spring prayer. Even just taking a few minutes to check in with God can make a world of difference. Soon you\u2019ll find yourself getting excited when the forecast calls for yet another day of rain.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/prayer\/how-to-pray-effectively\/\">READ MORE: How to Pray Effectively<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<h3>7 Spring Prayers<\/h3>\n<figure class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 768px\">\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-159250 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Man-with-his-arm-outstretched-saying-his-spring-prayers-outside-768x432.jpg\" alt=\"Man with his arm outstretched saying his spring prayers outside\" width=\"768\" height=\"432\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"media-credit\"><\/span>\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h4>1.

They give water to all the beasts of the field; the wild donkeys quench their thirst. The birds of the sky nest by the waters; they sing among the branches. You water the mountains from Your upper chambers; the land is satisfied by the fruit of Your work. You make grass grow for the cattle, and plants for people to cultivate\u2014bringing forth food from the earth: wine that gladdens human hearts, oil to make their faces shine, and bread that sustains their hearts. The trees of the Lord are well watered, the cedars of Lebanon that You planted. There the birds make their nests; the stork has its home in the junipers. How many are Your works, Lord!
