I’m learning that many of my prayers are half hearted at best, despite my anxiety. But if I know that my Father cares, what’s holding me back from praying boldly? It’s often my focus and passion to surrender my will to Him deeply and fully. I’m also too distracted with other goals that do not compare in weight or magnitude. Reading God’s Word, praying, praising Him, and searching for what He would have me do or say are daily exercises that bring great return. Neglecting them squelches my desire to listen to the Holy Spirit or the desire to honor Christ. Life becomes all about me without a desire to honor Him. Even doing good things without the right perspective can turn into a selfish rabbit trail. The need to exercise these godly habits is an everyday battle with new circumstances to work it all out. But He is faithful each and every day. I hope you sense this to be true throughout your life.
