Suggestions on how to pray daily

I have to admit, this is turning into a mini series now. Again this is soemthing I feel very strongly is for me. It may also be for you. I don’t know. If you like this, or it has helped you, please comment to say so. I will be encouraged to try to write more.
“Talk with God often. Talk over your problems with Him. Let Him bear the weight of your troubles. (See Matthew 11:28; 1 Peter 5:7.)”
When we speak with God, we admit that we need Him and depend on Him for our very existence. With this in mind we can turn our worries over to God, in the rationale that we are doing what we can to reduce our anxiety, whilst not abdicating our responsibilities.

I am really writing this for myself, but if it helps anyone else, that will be an added bonus.
Tips for your daily devotional time with God.

If, like me, you are a night owl, do it in the evening, as you will just hate doing it otherwise. Basically, make this as easy as possible for yourself and you will be more likely to keep it up. Which leads us on to…
- Make it a habit – Keep going even if it seems hard to find the time to do it or you don’t seem to be getting anywhere – It is important that you spend this time wisely. Once you have persevered for a while it will become easier, as your mind will accept that this time is for you to be with God, and is not to be compromised.

Getting to comment on other people’s giraffes, like blog posts

Here are my top three tips for getting people to comment on your site. If you think of any others I would be pleased to hear them, and possibly even take your comment on board. Anyway, here they are, even though you must have heard them a million times before, or rather read them. If you can improve on my meager list, I would urge you to do so.
- Make it easy for people to post. No one wants to jump through hoops to write a quick comment.
- Respond to comments in a personal way. Make your readers feel like they’re part of a community.
- Include YOU in your posts so people feel they are reading a real person, which you are… right?
He he, used one of them already. Let me know what you think of the comments system. Anything really, I would like to hear it.

Linksys NSLU2UK Storage Link for USB 2.0 Disk Drives
The NSLU2UK is a fabulous piece of kit that is ideal for those with an external hard drive that want to share said hard drive over a network. It runs Linux so can be easily updated to include such software as a media server for itune, or various web applications. It’s a full blown Linux system, and Debian can easily be installed on it. Well worth buying.
How to leave a good comment, and lasting impression on someone’s site
Much has been written on this subject, not all of it good. I thought I would chime in with my tuppence worth. There are three main rules to follow if you comment on this site, which will avoid your comment getting relegated to the spam folder, deleted, or worse, laughed at then one of the above.
Hope this clarifies the commenting policy on this site, and I look forward to receiving more comments.
BTW, and this is directed at you spammers, I run askimet on this site, so your comments won’t ever reach the post, and rest assured that if you do, I will immediately remove them. Why do you waste your time on doing things like this that are pointless anyway?
