When I went to the doctor recently, he reminded me to drink more water daily. I have been trying to do it, I told the doctor, but I always forget---and I need to make it a habit. Like most people, it takes a lot of effort for me to establish daily habits like exercise, drink more water, or write a "to do" list.
It's no different with prayer. Prayer, like most things in life, needs to become a habit to work for us. It took me a long time to develop the habit of praying. I am not religious and I don't actually pray the "usual" prayer, but I do "talk" to God on a regular basis--every night before I go to sleep, every morning before I drive to work, and a few times during the day---"grappling with life in Jesus' name". It gives me daily comfort.
Courage is fear that has said its prayers.

I know what you mean about establishing new routines, I really need to make a huge effort to change even small things
ReplyDeleteI am also a sinner in those things... as of drinking a lot of water... don't want to go to the CR all 5 minutes :-0
ReplyDeleteSomeone says it takes 30 days of daily practice before the habit (good or bad) sticks and it becomes second nature :D

Water does miracles....heed it! :D IMHO, praying should not be just praying, it's a way of life as is what you believe/religion. Happy weekend Luna...I love this pic, so serene as if stretching one's view to eternity...
ReplyDeleteNow that is something I should do too, thanks for the reminder.
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend to you Luna Miranda
agree... we really need to hydrate ourselves most especially this summer.
ReplyDeletehere's my entry
i am guilty of the same. :(
ReplyDeleteits hard if you need to do it every day and you're not used to the routine...it's hard at first but eventually we do it.
happy weekend! :)
Beautiful shot! I used to be better about drinking a lot of water daily.
ReplyDeleteThis is a thought-provoking post. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI think having a daily conversation with God is better than just praying. =)
ReplyDeleteMy doctor said the same thing to me....I need to drink more water. It was not an easy task for me to do until I found a pleasant way to put more water in my system - I add a fair amount of alcohol in my drinking water.
ReplyDeleteMy next meeting at Alcohol Anomynous is next Tuesday LOL.
