As I layed in bed awake last night worrying about Ezra and praying that he wasn't getting sick, I realized something. I haven't been taking the time to really pray. When someone isn't feeling well or it's bedtime or time to eat seems to be the only time here lately that I can give God a few seconds of my precious time to Thank him. I shouldn't just be praying when I have a need. I should be thanking him for all the many blessings in life all the time. I'm so ungreatful sometimes. I say a fast prayer at night before drifting off to sleep praying for friends and family. Prayer shouldn't be a rushed thing. What am I teaching my children about prayer? They say a prayer before they eat and a prayer before they go to bed. That isn't a good relationship with God. What if God didn't have time for me? After all his time is so much more precious then mine.
It seems I always can find a few minutes for facebook or the real housewives (lol) throughout the day, why can't I use that time to honor God? Because what I WANT to do is in my way. God has answered my prayers over and over again. He is a mighty God. And I need to take more time out of my day for him. SO that is what I'm going to do.
