Good morning world! Yesterday I wrote about praying continually. "How do I do that?", someone asked last night. I'm not entirely sure. I talk to Jesus at different times during the day. If one of my boys thinks he is old enough to talk back, I ask Jesus for the right words as I am counting to whatever number I need to get to so I do not yell at him. Do I do this all the time or perfect? Not hardly. However, when I do, life is so much better!
I remember the wonder I felt when I first heard about praying for just about everything. As a kid, I knew about praying before meals. Something we did not do, but I knew about. And I knew about the Lord's prayer, I learned about it in Sunday School. But not sure when you were suppose to pray that prayer. I knew about praying before going to sleep. I did that sometimes.
When I heard about praying for anything and everything. I was amazed. Looking back I am not sure why. Hearing that some Christians pray before making major decisions was an eye opener. However, when I heard some Christians actually pray during the day, as though they were talking to Jesus, this was a life changer for me.
This morning I over slept and got up all the kids late. I could have been in a frazzled panic (and I have before), but as I was getting dressed I prayed,"Lord Jesus, please help this morning go smoothly even though we do not have as much time as usual." AND it did! No one was in a panic. All chores were done before the kids left for school. My boys are almost ready for school here at home.
Jesus loves me and wants to be the Lord of my life. That means ALL of my life, not just major decisions, before meals, before bed, or at church.
"14 May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all." 2 Corinthians 13: 14
Be blessed and be a blessing,
