The bible encourages us to prayer continually. To help stay in a mind set of prayer to God, it is useful to have times in the day when we pause and give thanks, adore God or pour out our concerns to Him. Here are some short prayers for times in the afternoon when this might be appropriate:-

Mid Afternoon Prayer

Lord God,

Thank you for the morning, for watching over me and walking with me.
May I find rest and peace this afternoon in all I do, that I may gather strength to work for you until nightfall.

Amen.
