Pray continually

"How lovely is your dwelling place,

O Lord Almighty!

My soul yearns, even faints, for the courts of the Lord;

my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God."

Psalm 84:1-2

A day spent in prayer

My oldest son so far away in Baltimore

Remembering a friend who is in labor

Another friend has lost his dad

Someone just found out they have cancer

And my children...how much I desire for them to be faithful

"Lord, be with them"

So much to talk to God about

As I folded laundry petitions were sent up

With each dish that was washed a prayer was said

Wiping the dust from the dresser top the conversation continued

Remembering the Word says to

....pray continually.

Communion with the Almighty

what a privilege

Yet so many days go by

And I forget

Am caught up in me, myself, and I.

And it is I who misses out

I walk alone

rather then with my Shield and Protector.

The sweetness of the day

The peace in my soul

Reminds me

"Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere.

I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of the wicked.

For the Lord God is a sun and shield;

the Lord bestows favor and honor;

no good thing does he withhold from those whose walk is blameless.

O Lord Almighty,

blessed is the man who trusts in you."

Psalm 84:10-12
