Since my trip to New Mexico to pray with
monks in the desert, I've been drawn to rhythmic, orderly prayer. Tim Keel, pastor at
Jacob's Well has posted some e
xcellent resources for praying the hours. Tim says this,
The discipline of fixed-hour prayer is a challenging practice for most people to begin to engage because for many of us it is such an alien orientation to a spiritual practice that has largely been individual, spontaneous, and self-directed.
Hope this help in some way. I highly recommend fixed hour prayer, although I suck at it. There is something about moving in and out of prayer towards work and life, instead of the other way around.

Do you use a particular book or resource?
whenever the semester is over i'll probably go back to using the northumbria prayer book. i've also heard phyllis tickle's works are helpful.
i really recommend a pilgrimage to a monastery, there's nothing like waking up at 4 in the morning to pray. but of course, that's not for everyone.
