How is your prayer life? I ask this because I am currently reading a book and doing a study on prayer. I am trying to strengthen my prayer life. As I'm learning, prayer is our connection to God...when we pray He takes us in His outstretched arms and holds us while we talk and listen to Him.
I feel like I'm one of those people whose relationship with God goes in waves. If there's trouble or I need something from Him, then I'm praying and reading that Bible of mine. Before we moved and then once we got here, I was very diligent and disciplined about prayer. I have a prayer journal that I wrote in nearly every day. However, things are becoming routine here now. We've been here almost five months and we are settled into our new life. Why is it that when our lives become routine, we tend to slack off with God? Do you do this also? Or is it just me?
You can look at other things in my life and notice how I am becoming a slacker! I worked so hard over the summer and was so disciplined with running. I never did run a 5K like I told myself I would, but back in August, I think I could have done it. I haven't ran in well over a month. Lots of excuses...it's cold outside, I don't wanna get up early. I notice a change though...those 7 pounds I lost? They're baaaaack. When I was running, I had more energy throughout the day and just felt better in general. And now it's time for the winter sluggish feeling to set in. I also haven't wrote in this blog in quite some time. I don't really have anything to say. Life is routine, everything is pretty much the same old, same old. That's no fun! It's time to shake it up again, right? I'm going to try...
I am just beginning this journey with prayer so I have nothing profound to say yet. But I do have some questions, if anyone would like to weigh in. What is your prayer life like? Do you have a certain time or place you pray? Maybe you pray throughout the day, when a need or moment or praise arises? Do you pray with your spouse? Your children? Do you have any tips or advice to share on this topic?
Hopefully there will be more to come later. I hope to become a prayer warrior! :)
