When was the last time we spoke directly with God?

Theoretically, this is a trick question.

Newsflash: Praying is not enough

Steve Jobs quote
Be tough on yourself. And be gentle when it’s called for.

 

We pray for transformational change. For the world. For the people we love. Even for ourselves.

Newsflash: Praying is not enough.

May 2016 bring you the unquenchable desire to do three simple things:

  1. rethink
  2. reprioritize
  3. recommit

Yeah, it’s simple, and it’s that hard.

PS. i’m not praying for you, i’m writing five daily, differently-themed blogs to inspire you to be bold, determined, and humble.

God does not hurry

One day at a time is as fast (and as slow) as we can go.

Do not pray for things to happen faster, simply pray for them to happen.

God will direct the appropriate speed.

i am a wretch

Nature trail
From a Florida Zoo, mercy and kindness extended to a tree.

 

i am a wretch.

Even though i thought i was ‘good’.

So on April Fool’s Day 2009 i began the day on my knees, saying three special prayers.

  1. The Lord’s Prayer
  2. Hail Mary
  3. A special prayer i created as an extension of “saying Grace”

This is, coincidently, the same day i began the 100-day writer’s bootcamp.

Same result too.

Haven’t missed a single day.

Ever.

This train of thought continues with “i felt i deserved a raise at work” at the next Blog

No one will notice and this is dangerous

Self-discipline is key to everything we do.

Prayer daily often requires self-discipline because of life’s constant distractions – no one will know if we don’t do it.

This can become a dangerous habit.

A habit as dangerous as not exercising regularly.

Although that can be more difficult to keep a secret.
