I have struggled for years to cultivate a practice around Morning and Evening Prayer. A friend recently introduced me to an app for Lectio Divina that I have greatly enjoyed. Yet, something still felt like it was missing from my spiritual life as an Anglican Christian. As such, I am now attempting to create that something.
