I saw a commercial last night on television for a very large sandwich chain. They have a special going on where you can get a different sandwich every day of the week for a low price, eliminating the possibility of getting stuck in a routine of eating the same sandwich day after day. And that got me thinking: what if we did the same thing with our prayer lives?
Instead of falling into our same daily routines – you know, the ones that make up our busy and hectic lives – we did something different. What if we took the approach of this sandwich chain? What if we made each day different? What if we decided to change the way we pray? What if we decided to change our ways and begin to pray?
Each day, we would select from a menu of prayer options to satisfy our hunger for God. We could choose from a number of 
delectable options: reciting common prayers, lectio divina, meditation, Liturgy of the Hours, the rosary, attending Mass or a Communion Service at your local church, spiritual reading, or even a conversational prayer with God. The options are limitless!
Start today! Bring some variety into your prayer life. Pick a time in your day that works best and spend that time in prayer. You will be working toward improving your relationship with God and being fed by His word all at the same time. Now that’s a meal that makes every day truly special!
