Praise God it's Saturday! I'm enjoying a cup of (warm) Joe and feeling very satisfied. I'm trying to read Tozer, but the words are a silver ball that keeps getting 'pinged' around in my head. I'm convinced I have a some form of adult A.D.D. I truly feel like an arcade game.
Sometimes I feel like I'm walking through life like a zombie -- going through motions that look normal to everyone around me. I turn off my radar to other because I have "so much" I need to get done. This, to me, is a tragedy.
"Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer." Romans 12:12
This verse sums up life. No matter what our circumstances, we can always find joy in the hope and promise of salvation and our future glory seated at God's right hand. During the trials and affliction that this life brings--whatever they may be--God calls us to be patient and to endure. And through it all, whether in a season of hope or affliction, let us be faithful to God in prayer. This is the one I struggle with the most. Be FAITHFUL in prayer.
Faithful: steadfast in affection or allegiance; a firm adherence to promises; given with strong assurance; true to the facts, to a standard, or to an original.
Be FAITHFUL in prayer.
Lord, I want to be faithful in prayer. My spirit is willing, but my flesh is weak. I want to turn to you in any and every situation. I want to approach your throne of grace with confidence. Give me the strength and discipline to call on you first. Ready my heart this day for whatever it may bring.
