This moment-to-moment prayer approach is very practical, for it does not require a special place, situation or time that is set aside for prayer. It emphasizes short brief prayers while doing normal day-to-day activities such as driving, tasks at work or when at home.

They can be used to petition the Lord to meet significant needs-be them for and individual or for others.

This may include becoming more patient, discerning the Lord's voice, trusting more and surrendering to Jesus.
