This is an uncomfortable subject for me. Faithful prayer requires discipline, seeking relationship with God in an intimate way and then waiting for Him to work, move, comfort; this can be hard sometimes. First, I need to be alone, and that doesn’t happen very often during the day. I get up really early every morning so that I can get myself and Marla off to work and school on time, and prayer could easily be worked into that time, but how often do I do it? I am mildly successful, but long to be more faithful in my time with the Lord.
I’ve been a Christian most of my adult life and have had seasons in which I’ve been diligent in my pursuit of prayer and others when prayer has been relegated to simply thinking. Prayer is hard.
I was sent a few cartoons about Church life this week, and one of them struck me right where it hurts.
Ouch!
What a great reminder for me to examine my prayer life (or lack thereof) and begin to reconnect with my heavenly Father in a more intimate way.
In the middle of the chaos of today, had you been on the second floor, you would have me cakcling to myself at your cartoon....i have done this!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Vicki. It means a lot to me that you have really been praying for me. I love the conviction you are revealing here and its convicting to me too. m
