I used this prayer blog in May 2007 as a way of getting myself back into the spirit of prayer, back into trusting God. Oh... how I wander! The blog did what it needed to do, I had a lovely, intense three month prayer experiment, got myself back spiritually to where I thought I could continue, got called to teach Sunday School for the adults in my ward... and then backslid!
Now, by "backslid", I don't mean I did anything horrible! I just got so discouraged by family and financial battles that I quit staying close to God through my prayers and scripture study. You'd think I'd hold fast to knowing that He cares, but...
I knew that music would start to soften my heart again. Look at my post on Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's Christmas hymn, "I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day", and you'll see how God continues to reach out to me.
So I guess I'm going to have to rev up this prayer blog, again. Life is hard. It's hard for believers and non-believers, alike. It's hard even if you have good health and a good job. If you care about people, then you get pulled into their troubles.
For my sake, the Lord keeps me close to trouble, so I won't get all proud on Him and wander..l because that's what I'm prone to do!
