Luke 11:1 (ESV) Now Jesus was praying in a certain place, and when he finished, one of his disciples said to him, "Lord, teach us to pray, as John taught his disciples."What struck me about that verse was even people who were around JESUS everyday were self conscious about their prayer life. Pastor Mike was right this is something that has to be learned and doesn’t come naturally to anyone. So I just need to stick it out and keep working on this part of my spiritual life.
By the way: I need to send out my thank you for the night to Ms. Deb Simon, who felt the call to ask me about my goal to read the Bible. I did start that part of my project and I decided to start in Exodus since I have started this little project about 4 times and always make it through Genesis. So I have read Genesis about 6 times and the rest of the Bible not so much. Love you so much Deb.
Ongoing Prayers:
• My brother Chris is planning on deploying to Iraq. He is a non-believer and hardest part for me is that he is a Calvary Scout. What makes that so hard for me is he is one of the first men in and one of the last men to leave dangerous situations. I know that I would feel a lot better about the entire thing if I knew where he was going when he took his last breath.
Today Pastor Mike asked us to pray for God to bring someone’s face to our minds that we can build a relationship with so that they could have a relationship with Jesus, Chris’s face was the one that came to my mind. The funny part was he came to my mom’s mind too.
I also have prayed that a Godly man from the Army will influence his life.
• That I just keep on keeping on. I feel good about this journey but I’m only 3 days into it.
I forgot to tell everyone. If you were wondering where I got the font I put on my photos. I used the Ali Edwards font. Right now it is free from Creative Keepsakes. So go over there and get it.
