A Christian forgets to pray and takes his blessings for granted

My prayer life has gotten a stagnant.  Sure, I pray with my daughters at night and I love doing that but after a long day and i am tired, I may go straight to bed without even praying.

In 2013, I read the bible from cover to cover using a yearly planner.  2014 was the highlight of my faith in that I was never stronger in my relationship with the Lord.  I prayed constantly, talked with God often and trust him thru the good times and the bad.  2014 was such a challenge but those intimate talks with God really put me at ease.

Fast words to the last few remaining days of 2016, i have everything i have prayed for in 2014 but my conversations with Christ is significantly less.  If you have been following the blog you are fully aware of the challenges i have been facing the last few days.

This morning, I decided it was time to reconnect to my source.  I downloaded my Olive Tree Bible app on my phone, mac, and ipad and started another year long journey.  I tell you what…i was so refreshed after reading day one.  It was such a spiritual high.  I then got on my knees and prayed like it was 2014 and I felt right at home.

My resolve is to bring back the days when my conversations with Christ was my lifeline.  In doing so, I firmly believe that God will truly reveal his plans for me and also allow me to better write on this blog.  Have a blessed day everyone.  In Jesus name we all live on!  -PJSLB

(update) this was written during the last week of 2016.  Im happy to say that the Lord has always been faithful thru the good times and the bad. -PJSLB

Adjectives of our Gods love 

Love this as it reminds me of EVERYTHING that God provides. Trusting in his timing is just so hard.  Its like being a kid again and just waiting for your parents to give you that one toy that you have been begging for.

On a side note, please say a prayer for my two little girls.  They seem to be in the early stages of the stomach flu.  Its tough to see your kids suffer.  Thanks!

Good Morning Prayer – 12/30/16

Heavenly Father,

I thank you for blessing me with another day on earth with my family.  It was such a cold morning walking the dogs.  I thank you for these new puppies that have been such a joy for my kids.  I thank you lord that during this Christmas break my kids were able to just stay home and relax.  I thank you for keeping us free from sickness and be able to enjoy this holiday season.

Lord, please watch over family and friends that are away from us.  Please continue to send blessings to our nation.

I pray lord that you continue to talk to me and tell me where i need to go.  Too many times I have been trying to force your hand and making my own plans.  I give that up and surrender it all to you.

I thank you for the Bible and the way it speaks to me whenever i open it.  I pray lord that someone out there who is reading this also picks up the bible to read your thoughts on life.

Finally, I pray lord that use me as a example of your love on earth.  May i never falter is showing that.  If i do, I pray lord you bless me with the ability to realize my mistakes and fix them.

I love you Lord. In Jesus Name, Amen.
