i let busy-ness, worry, and action keep me from going to my knees. bottom line is about control. i find the best way for me to meet with God is when i lose myself co-creating with him…art, gardening. it is then i am able to praise God with no agenda and just be in communion with him.
Pray without ceasing. That seems challenging right?
It's challenging for me. I do talk to God all the time, but often it seems to be selfish prayers or just "Help me Lord!!" I want to pray for others and to actually devote time to getting on my knees in prayer. Who's with me?
I fall into the guilt of praying when I'm in need & slacking off when I'm not…ugh!! Right now I'm going through a very difficult trail & boy, it's AMAZING when I'm fearful & worried how QUICKLY I run to the Lord in prayer. My prayer is that I NEVER forget God's grace to me during this trail & continue seeking him whole heartedly no matter what my circumstance.
This has been a great study, but today was really convicting. I feel like I dont really get a chance to pray! I do feel like o dance with Jesus constantly thinking of Him and making sure I am being a good example, but I do feel like we aren’t dancing smoothly. I know I need to be better about praying.
Rejoice always! Enough said really. When I am down or feeling like why me I need to remember to rejoice in all the blessings the Lord has given me. I really identify with not being comfortable praying out loud. I feel like I pray all the time but NEVER out loud. What if someone hears me and thinks I'm silly? Or some kind of loony? Or my words aren't eloquent enough? Or think I'm praying for something stupid? Ugh! I need to get over that thinking. The only opinion that matters is God's. He is always listening.

I LOVE the idea of praying for others! I texted a couple of my friends & asked them how I could pray for them today :) Praying for you too Amanda!
love that idea Kim!

I loved today's reminder to be cheerful always, to pray always, and just the little reminder to always BE with Him!
