Teach Me Lord to Pray
So, something strange happened to me today. And I wish it wasn’t strange…but it was. I actually wish it was a really normal occurence for me.
I’m praying this morning…and I usually have a card of specific people that need prayers. But today, I couldn’t find my card. Well…that’s ok. I figuired I’d just pray through without it…no big deal. About halfway through my prayer, an image of a friend (who I know wasn’t on the list) was burned in my mind. So I prayed for that person. Then, came the image of Marshall (read We Are Marshall to learn about him). And I prayed for Marshall.
Sometimes I wonder if my list doesn’t get in my way. Maybe my list of people to pray for puts a limit on what I will hear from God. It doesn’t limit God…but it limits me. Thank you Lord, for continuing to teach me to pray.
Perhaps I’ll lose my card again sometime.
