God has been teach ing
me a lot about prayer in the past few days.
It’s something I’ve always struggled with…being intentional about spending time in prayer.
As a little girl, I always thought I had to stop what I was doing, bow my head, and close my eyes (no peeking!)…before I could pray.
Now I know better.
And while there’s definitely a time for praying like that, I’m learning how sweet it is to just talk to Him
throughout my day…as I’m washing dishes, picking up after Mae, or sweeping the floor. Sometimes it’s about me, more often it’s not. Sometimes it’s a couple sentences, sometimes I sit down and talk to Him for a few minutes.
It’s sweet.
Today there was something on my heart that was discouraging, and I didn’t know how to approach it.
I prayed, and God provided a conversation that helped me process…as His way of giving me an
answer.
It was such a good reminder to me today…
That God wants His children to talk
to Him.
That He wants to meet the needs that are most pressing on their hearts.
That the talks I have with my Father are precious…and it is time well spent.
Just a little reminder today but something I wanted to share.
Happy weekend, friends!
This blog post that you just wrote is exactly me this week. Prayer is so convenient but we never use it to it’s full availability. Oh, to imagine the time before direct conversation with God in this way was available to people. Thanks for the reminder!
