As the Word continues to reform my mind and so my actions, I've realized that prayer is a gift and grace from God. I'll get up early and literally go pray in my closet, or kneel at my favorite chair, or pray out loud in the car while driving. Realizing that God delights in obedient prayer has caused me to want to delight Him with prayer.Lisa Hellierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247624724011594390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1686582774155973298.post-49048636789204658722008-01-14T07:12:00.000-06:002008-01-14T07:12:00.000-06:00One thing I need to develop is praying "on the go"...One thing I need to develop is praying "on the go" as I'm not really strong in that area. Over the last few months I have really needed that quiet prayer time. For me that means either in the office or in my bedroom when the kids are in afternoon rest time or asleep for the night. Both these doors have locks which, if nothing else, prevent someone from busting in and startling me to death! Also I have found that private praise time, in addition to prayer, has been vital in deepening my relationship with the Lord.<BR/>-K.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1686582774155973298.post-44635333762736159182008-01-14T06:17:00.000-06:002008-01-14T06:17:00.000-06:00I try to wake up early enough to have a quiet Bibl...I try to wake up early enough to have a quiet Bible reading time every morning. I, like you, don't get much time alone though because in the time in takes me to soak up a few Scriptures and pray a quick prayer asking for guidance and direction for my day, there's usually someone else awake and needing something. I had to learn to do as you describe here, and prsy as situations arise and as needed throughout the day. aone thing I do try to do: I write down the names of those I know who need prayer that I don't encounter on a regular basis (like Little Bit) and take a short time (usually Princess' nap time) to pray for their needs as well. You're right. It's a challenge and I think that God understands the complex lives of mothers who have so much on our plate. He is gracious toward us and I believe it's the sincerity of our prayers that matter most. (I hope I'm right! :-)Elspeth https://www.blogger.com/profile/17495546895657214080noreply@blogger.com
