"What are you not doing today that you were doing when I first met you?
What investments are you no longer making?
What daily, weekly practices have fallen by the wayside?"-source unknown
Over time even the things that work for us we forget or just simply stop doing. There was a time when I started my day on my knees with a prayer. It usually was the prayer of Jabez.
The prayer of Jabez THANKS God for blessing one, for enlarging ones' territory, keeping his hand upon one, and keeping one from evil. I remember reading or hearing somewhere that the prayer was the only one directly answered in the Bible.
The point is not the prayer daily BUT the routine. The routine made me feel good. Or as Wayne Dyer says, "I want to feel good, I want to feel God". It felt good. I could clearly see how my life was changing. How my connection with God was getting stronger.
So, why don't I say the prayer now? Is it that my life is perfect? Far from it, I need it more than ever. The sad truth is I do not know why I do not regularly say my prayer. I do know that my connection to God has been very rusty lately. My life does not feel smooth. As a matter of fact, it feels unbalanced. Something is missing....maybe a little prayer could fix it?
Today's question is:
"What important routine are you missing in your life?"
What investments are you no longer making?
What daily, weekly practices have fallen by the wayside?"-source unknown
