I've been praying more lately (lately meaning yesterday), not just the little talk to God here and there thing, but setting aside a chunk of time to pray about a lot of different things. It's a bit humbling. I'm starting to realize I didn't think prayer was that important before. In my head I had thoughts like, "Oh yes more prayer is better," but I saw it as something that had more to do with relationship than anything else. I realized this week that there is a lot in my life and the lives of those around me that God wants to change, and for whatever reason He waits on us to do something about it. As I've realized all there is to do, I've also realized I don't really have what it takes to get things done, and here I'm reminded that I am small, God is big, and prayer is important.
I took some time to pray yesterday.
"Oh dang maybe I should get that definitions glossary done for class."
"I think I got an email on my phone."
"I should do some reading for my Literary Criticism class."
"What about running to the insurance office to sign that policy."
I had a thought every five minutes. It's going to take some time to turn my mindset around.
