My tendency is to go directly to petitioning! It seems like Liturgy of the Hours (ie., using the Psalms) always follows that rule but it still takes a conscious effort on my part to adhere to it. So, I guess that's one thing I've learned in '08 & will no doubt have to re-learn in '09! Years ago, my spiritual director began insisting that I begin every prayer with praise & adoration.

I’m coming over from Holy Experience today, but I’ve lurked here before. :)

It’s been sort of a one-lesson year for our family–a year ago we were driving 1.5 hours each Sunday to lead a church plant (Anglican), while waiting on our house to sell, wondering if we were hearing God right, etc. A year later, we have learned that God is so faithful!

I posted about it here
