Thinking Constantly about Christ
PRAYER.

O Jesus, may You be always on my mind wherever I am or whatever I am doing.

WHAT is meditating on Christ? It is simply this, thinking habitually and constantly of Him and of His deeds and sufferings.

It is to have Him before our minds as One Whom we may contemplate, worship, and address when we rise up, when we lie down, when we eat and drink, when we are at home and abroad, when we are working, or walking, or at rest, when we are alone, and again when we are in company.
