natural as breathing

How often do you save your progress when you are writing code? When you are finished working for the day? You have probably been burned enough by accidental reboots and editor crashes that you save your work all the time. You probably don't realize the number of times you hit Ctrl+S or :w while you work. It has become so much a part of your workflow that you don't even notice anymore. Saving your work has become as natural as breathing.
Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18)
We often relegate prayer, rejoicing, and thanksgiving to specific times of the day when we feel like it. What if we prayed, rejoiced, and gave thanks as often as we saved our work? It might become as natural as breathing.
