Rejoice in the Lord always. I shall say it again: rejoice! Your kindness should be known by all. The Lord is near. Have no anxiety at all, but in everyhting, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, make your requests known to God. Then the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts in Christ Jesus. - Philippians 4: 4-7
Today I thought that I would take another step in my spirituality. I think that it's important that my life include prayer on a daily basis. Not only that, but I think it's important that my day begin and end in prayer. I don't think I include prayer in my life as much as I should, and I believe this is the time for me to begin doing this important task.
By praying we are having a one on one conversation with God. It gives us a chance to express our thanks, praise, sorrows, fears, desires, hopes, joys, and pain. It is a chance to seek guidance, forgiveness and comfort.
Daily prayer is something that can bring me peace. I think it is something that will soothe me, and help bring focus and clarity to the things in my life that are most important. Above all I believe that it is something that will strengthen my faith and relationship with God.
