Lately, I’ve felt like I’m slacking a bit.  I have just had a harder time praying and fasting like when I NEEDED to just to survive my day from all the pain my ex leaving me created.  However, I just don’t want to live complacently. The “norm” isn’t good enough.  I want more of Jesus; more of Him in my life. I want to be a witness and a light for Him. This morning I made myself get up and pray before going to work and I read my daily bread before the first office visit.  I had almost forgotten what it was like to just bask in His presence. I’m a great cheerleader for those who want to do so, but sometimes it’s hard to get myself to do the same.  Today, however, I just prayed this morning just to give Him my day. Just to say “Jesus, I submit my day to You.”  It was so wonderful to sit in His presence again, just to do so- no petitions, no goal in mind other than just to be with Him before starting my day.  It was wonderful.

Jesus, 

I thank You for the strength You give us each day. I thank You for being my wonderful Lord and Savior.  Oh how I’ve missed our morning talks.  I love You Jesus with all my heart.
