Praying as Retirement

Retirement:

This is something that many people talk about how much money you are to have, but few talk about the purpose of retirement.  If a retired person does not have a purpose, what will that person do?
Here is an idea of a retirement purpose:  PRAYER.  What follows are some ideas about Praying as retirement that you can use and discard as you wish.
1.  Spend time listening for God's voice.
2.  You could set a time for listening, such as one minute for every year you are old.
3.  Go on a prayer walk every day praying for the people who live where you walk past.
4.  Go on a prayer walk and pray for other things.
5.  If you like variety like I do, have a prayer focus for every year, or even every month, such as wisdom, listening, patience, love, joy, endurance, purity, etc.
6.  Pray for different people each day of the week, for example, Sunday pray for your church body, Monday pray for your enemies, Tuesday pray for your friends, Wednesday pray for your President, Thursday pray for the famous people in the news who get into trouble, Friday pray for you town, Saturday pray for your siblings and their families.
7.  Do Yoga Prayer.  Do different Yoga positions and while in each position pray for a specific person.  Add a position and person each month.
8.  Do basketball prayer.  While shooting baskets talk to God.
9.  Pray while in the grocery store for the people who work at the grocery store, and pray for opportunities to share the Gospel with them.
10.  Pray through the newspaper.  After every article you read in the newspaper, pray for the people involved or effected by that article.
