Its been a few days now since I have written on here. I am not doing any better, or praying anymore than what I was doing last week. But this is the beginning of a new week, so I am planning on changing that. The easiest part to forget, is making myself prepared for the day before I step out of bed. I forget this too much, so I'm going to make a note that reminds me every time I wake up, Ill see it and hopefully practice it. If I can get a good start of my day, that quick, than the rest of my day seems to be great! I recommend you trying this before leaving your bed even. Make yourself talk to God, ask and pray about the day. Focus on today, and focus on Him as you walk through your day. It works. For me, it is a must. If I do not, my day will be up and down, trying to get things done like a normal day. It not just a normal day when you start it with Christ, and spend it with Him, and you finish it with Him in prayer before sleep. It is such a joy, to look back on those days. Think of looking back on hundreds or thousands of those days? Life would seem full! It takes a strong will to do this. I hope I can pray without ceasing one of these days. But its going to take personal change and work within myself. I have to give up things. God has to shape me, and unfortunately its not an easy process usually. This is where being humbled comes to play in this whole new chapter of my life. I'm sure the days will be good and bad just like the rest. But I intend on learning from the good and the bad more than ever. I want to truly soak up every living experience I have, because I believe Wisdom is powerful. Solomon prayed for wisdom. Not money, but wisdom, and God made him one of, if not the most wise men that ever lived ( From what I understand ). Its times like these, with tests and all, we learn things that can apply later on to our life, And the lives of others.
God, Mold me. I want to be who you want me to be. I want to be like Christ. Help me, and give me the strength I need to change, and withstand your molding process. I love you.

I just got an email from Pastor David in Uganda that woke me up in regards to how lazy we can be in talking to God. He has started a new church in a community that is 90% muslim; in light of that he wakes up every day at 3AM to pray for them.
ReplyDeletePowerful and true devotion. Oh, how we need that in our lives and in this country.
I want to soak up every experience too. We are always looking for the big thing but it seems like all the little things in life are the truly significant ones.
ReplyDeleteYour blog is inspiring me to remember to pray throughout the day, its so easy to forget, but it truly helps keep me in the right spirit.
