Pray

I'm reminded to just stop and pray about it.

We know prayer works, some of us might have strong prayer lives, we enjoy prayer. But if you're like me, you go in and out of these phases. Sometimes it's so easy and sometimes you don't know where to start. Sometimes you have all the right words and sometimes you say the same monotonous thing you did yesterday. Sometimes you feel like He hears you and sometime you feel like it falls on deaf ears (even though we know better).

Well I have been going through one of the prayer-is-hard-and-takes-a-conscious-effort-phase. After a bad day of school yesterday (put it on the Top 10 Worst list) I was in a foul mood, to say the least. And before I went to bed I did two things.

1. I thought positive thoughts. Sometimes you just have to talk yourself into a good mood. I said, "I will make tomorrow a great day! I can't wait to see the kids. I'm going to be so prepared. Tomorrow will be fun in Kindergarten!"

2. I prayed. At a time where I felt guilty I haven't spent enough time in prayer or meditation, I just made it quick and simple and knew that I needed help.

Quick and simple. Just do it.
