Hey all
Prayer=Mind Blown= A direct line to God=So good!
Ill admit in my daily routine prayer usually shares the back seat along with my quite times and devotionals. But taking time to dig deeper than i usually do has made me realize what i have been missing and where i need to aim for.
The thought of prayer being a necessity to daily life never really occurred to me until i stopped my communication to God bout 2 years ago.  only after i got back on track did i realize how much i had taken for granted. So often i kept everything internal, but having that open line to God, though i could not literally hear a voice or see a face i knew that who i was talking to cared and heard what i was saying. And even then sometimes use it for my benefit instead of glorying Gods kingdom.

Being able to find time to  have a  direct uninterrupted  link to God is difficult to find for me. I find myself driving in the mountains for hours. not always talking to God bit also listening to what God has to say. I dont hear his voice however he gives me understanding and peace about things. All through prayer and meditation.

However when i cant make it to the hills my prayer life usually consists of  a quick rapid fire of prayer before fall asleep or get going for the day. But i am learning to prioritize it more and more throughout my life. To not see it as an item on a checklist that i have to do before i can start or stop my day. But something more that is vital for me to function throughout.

Being able to talk with God is a total blessing in my life. Even when the answers i get arent what i want. I find myself being torn between thankfullness and  remorse after God humbles me or tests my patience after asking for either of them. Being able to see God answer my prayers in ways that i would not necessarily answer them  has made me realize that he has plans that are so far beyond me is truly unbelievable.
