Prayer

Though its half-way through October, I feel like I am only beginning my month of prayer.

I began my book for the month (Prayer by Phillip Yancey) today and was super encouraged by it. Prayer really does serve as a zooming out and focusing on God and the bigger picture. As Yancey put it, "It cures our myopia."

I've been praying pretty consistently, but still feel something lacking. I want to want to spend hours in prayer, but find myself quite fidgety by 10 minutes. I journal on a daily basis and I pray as I journal, but I want to experience that powerful moment of intercessory prayer where time seems to disappear and all that matters are the prayer requests on my mind.

That has yet to happen.

I want to try praying in groups this month more often. Perhaps, all I'll do is pray with my husband more consistently. Maybe I'll find a prayer partner. But quite frankly, if "all I do" is pray with my husband more... then that will have been a wonderful accomplishment!

And while I'm at it... send me prayer requests. I'd love to pray for you ladies more this month :)
