prayer

I was without my laptop for 3 full days and I really hated it but as with many things, I completely spiritualized it feeling that sometimes we lose things that we might place before God who should be first at all times. I know I get my idols and need to keep God on top so it was actually good for me I am sure. Keeping my eyes on Christ is the key to MY LIFE. I pray for His will and I know what His will is so I must follow it. It takes prayer and I know I don't pray enough. I think I am a bad pray-er. I get so distracted with it and have horrible attention span in worshipping and praying. I don't like that about myself. Something else to pray about! There is no end to the prayers. There's the gratitude prayers, the repenting prayers, prayers for self, for family, for friends' needs; for those who aren't saved, for local issues, national issues and world issues and all the categories. I just can't pray enough. We are to pray without ceasing. I am doing better remembering little moments of prayer throughout the day. So important.


I am in a bible study called Believing God by Beth Moore and have really enjoyed its message and the homework I am doing. It is so essential to do bible studies, have fellowship and listen to sermons in addition to reading the Word as you walk the Christian walk. You can't really grow much without constant reinforcement. I crave it and love it. I thank Jesus for what He allows me to do and for his provision and guidance in all areas to do with him and my walk.
