Devote
yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful.
- Colossians 4:2
I
have never been one for new year’s resolutions, because I most always broke
them pretty much before I even got started.
This
year, however, I resolved to wake up 30 minutes early every day so I could read
a daily devotional (or three!) and talk to God via journaling.
It
is March 20th, the 79th day of 2019, and I have only
missed two days (dumb migraines).
I
really feel that my life has been enhanced by this time I spend with God.
I
may be tired when I wake up, I may yawn through the reading and writing, but I
will not give it up.
This
time I spend, reading devotions, reading the Bible, writing in my prayer
journal and writing these daily bread memos for my email/blog, this has allowed
me to be more thankful.
I
see what spending time with Him does for me, and I truly hope that it makes a
difference for you too.
Have
a blessed day.
That's been my struggle..setting aside time
ReplyDeletefor cultivating that relationship with Him!
It was hard to do it, but I started setting my alarm and getting out of bed 30 minutes earlier. That 30 minutes with just me and God makes the day start much better :)
