Well it's been a while since I have last posted anything, but I am still reading Daniel and keeping up on my daily scripture and daily devotionals. The days have been very full and with a little one, who is a little extra needy this week, it's hard to sit down and write your thoughts.
     Lately prayer has been haunting me, in a sense. Prayer is one of the most intimate and important part of my relationship with God. My prayer, when I do pray, is normally about me, about what I want our what I need. Now don't get me wrong, I know you are to make your desires known to God, but prayer should be a conversation to my Father. An open and honest confession and admiration to my Lord, as well as desires, but I seem to always focus more on me.
     Now I would love to tell everyone how I spend lots of time everyday deep in prayer, but I wouldn't be being honest to you or myself. But I did sit down, cleared my thoughts, and submissively prayed to God for the 1st time in a long time. I started to cry and give up myself to my Lord. WOW! It was great, it felt so cleansing. I hadn't done that in such a long time. To just let my guard down and honestly talk to God made me feel so good. I felt happier, lighter, and blessed. I didn't ask for anything except to help me do this more often. I confessed my poor attitude, my bad behavior, and lack of obedience. And during all this time of prayer I could feel the Lords presence, even His touch, His love.
     I wish I could tell you I have done it again, but I haven't. It seems hard to get that quiet time and alone time. I don't know, maybe I am making excuses. But I will work at getting some of that alone time so that I can continue to spend that great quality time with my Heavenly Father.
