How should we pray? Where should we begin? In this first part of a series, Vijay Menon, a converted Hindu who works closely with St. Helen's, Bishopsgate, gives some advice for our personal devotions.

First: our daily devotional time with Jesus Christ, spending time with Christ before we spend time for him.

I found it impossible to spend a few minutes every day, first thing in the morning, until I realised that in my 27 years at Lloyds Register, I never came to my office in my pyjamas; I made time to do what I wanted. If I miss my daily reading one day, I won't try to catch up, just as if I miss to brush my teeth one day, I won't brush twice the next day. Get a loud alarm clock, don't hit the bed once you get up, don't leave the house until you spend a few minutes with Jesus and his Word. Daily Reading by J.C. Ryle has helped me.
