Spiritual but not religious, new age and omnist
Christianity also has fixed prayer times
It is called The Divine Hours or liturgy of the hours
sometimes called fixed-hour prayer, and have existed since before Christianity formalized, having their roots in the daily prayer rhythm of Judaism.
The typical schedule for the Divine Hours follows a three-hour pattern, with prayers at 6:00 a.m., 9:00 a.m., noon, 3:00 p.m., and 6:00 p.m. Simpler adaptations of the Divine Hours involve a morning prayer, a mid-day prayer, and an evening prayer.
The practice of fixed-hour prayer is not simply stopping to pray extemporaneously throughout the day; rather, these times of prayer follow a liturgy, or a structured way of praying. This generally includes set prayers, Scripture reading, and possibly a song or hymn. While it may seem daunting to dive into three, five, or more set prayer sessions each day, there are many ways to practice the Divine Hours, and there are many resources to help all believers engage in daily prayer.
