During this month of focus on prayer, I have realized just how much it exposes my heart motivations and intentions. And to none other than the Creator of the universe. Although it is rarely pretty, I am realizing it is always good for me.
Good to see that God is good.
Good to see that I am not.
Good to see where my actions are stemming from.
Good to practice putting myself in a vulnerable position.
Good to just be in God's presence.
Good to be reminded of His presence throughout the day.
Good to have false narratives replaced with truth.
Just because it is good for me doesn't always mean I want to do it though. Some days I just don't feel like putting my heart out into the light. I was encouraged yesterday, though, as I sat in Bible study and looked through the passage in Matthew 6 where it says:
The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are good, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eyes are bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!
May this season of prayer continue to bring my thoughts and my intentions into the light!
