It's a beautiful day here in sunny Colorado. Like flip flops and shorts weather. But there wasn't much time to spend outside today. Life seems to get busier and busier all the time. Sometimes the first time I have been home all day is at 9 at night. And sometimes that gets discouraging. Most of my days are filled with teaching, school, babysitting, and music lessons. And somehow my devotions are set aside. And I get home and I want to spend time with the Lord, but I end up falling asleep. So discouraging. But I have found that devotions can be a time spent in prayer driving to and from school, mulling verses over in mind, listening to Christian music, and when I am able to really dig into the Word I do. And it.it.so.refreshing!
So I offer you this today, stay encouraged. Don't get bogged down. Jesus got tired. Don't feel like you failed because you weren't able to have devotions for a day. Don't give up. Start up the next day. I would like to challenge you in one more thing. Your prayer life. I tell people I will pray for them, and I used to say that and forget, but now, I make a conscious effort to truly pray for them. When they are on your mind, there IS A REASON! Start praying. Nothing happens by accident. It's amazing what happens to your relationship with Christ when you start praying. I feel I go to Him more often, for little and big things. And prayer does not have to be formal. There is no right way to pray which is such a relief isn't it! No pressure. These are just some things that have been on my mind. Let it be an encouragement to you. And please, if you have something you want me to pray about, I WILL! I really will. Drop a comment and I will pray with you for whatever you have requested. Have a lovely rest of the day! Our God is truly a great God!!
