Someone told me one time that as Christians we should use breaks in our routines to stop to pray. Because I was a high school teacher I was told that I should stop when the bell rang for the end of a class and pray for the next class which would start when the next bell rang. It sounded like a good idea except that I never did have that break. Students wanted to talk, papers needed to be photocopied, messages had to be answered. At first I felt guilty but I soon learned that my job did not allow that kind of interruption. Besides my wife will tell you that I rebel against order like that.
I am now retired and I love the routine of prayer in the morning. No bells to interrupt only the occasional phone call.
