I find myself in prayer many times a day but once a week now I take time to sit in the quiet of the morning and really pray hard. My favorite time is when the sun is coming up. It reminds me that God has not left my side. I believe the sun coming up is its birth every day and Gods stamp, His personal signature to the world that He was the engineer of all things that die and then are reborn. To me, the setting of the sun represents death of a day and the sun rise represents being born again, rebirth, or resurrection. I see God’s signature everywhere I look. So likewise, I would pray to God diligently at least once a week. Sometimes I get busy in my prayer time writing or reading. So once a week I try to just sit and talk to God, listen, and think. It’s a good time for me. As I see God revealing things to me daily, I wonder why I never took time to be with God before. I guess the old saying “you don’t know what you are missing” would hold true in my case. I need to know God more intimately. I want that in my life. Sometimes I think that if I could be alone for 30 days with no distractions, I would sit in prayer all day long talking with God. I think that would be cool.
These things I am writing because I want you to know how important prayer and fellowship with God are. I used to only pray the “God help me” prayers but today it is much more than that. I like to just sit and talk to Him. He seems to be much more responsive that way. Wouldn’t you get tired of talking to people if all they ever did was complain and say God help me this one last time! Lol that man has got some patience. No wonder He flooded the world. God created man for fellowship with Him. He is our creator. Our God. The one who holds all of the cards for us. For most of my life I have neglected my life, my future, and my loved ones because I have taken for granted my purpose here on earth which is to fellowship with God and to love Him. I guess that it is something we learn after fighting the flesh till we are tired of fighting. Thank God He gave some of us common sense, sense enough to quit beating our heads against the wall and turn to Him the key holder to learn what it is we are to do.
Prayer
Thank you for choosing me to be your friend. I pray that you will continue to reveal your wonder to me and also to my family and friends. I pray that you will take time daily to get to know me a little bit better and that you forgive me for my behaviors for the first 42 years of my life.
Thoughts:
If you never spend any time with your parents will you know them very well? Would you still be close? Doesn’t God deserve a little time?
