prayer in the air

Daniel 6:10
10 But when Daniel learned that the law had been signed, he went home and knelt down as usual in his upstairs room, with its windows open toward Jerusalem. He prayed three times a day, just as he had always done, giving thanks to his God.

Christians had a structured prayer life much earlier than Muslims. For centuries, the day was divided into prayer times. Bell towers of churches striking on the hour are part of that heritage. Even at universities who don’t realize it.

For example, I wonder how many students at UC Riverside know that their bell tower is tolling “O God Our Help in Ages Past,” every hour on the hour? Just heard it last weekend.

Set up five prayer times during the day for the next few days.
