Don't really know what to "blog" about today. I just feel so overwhelmed with my prayer, maybe I'm trying to hard. I keep hearing, don't pray when worried, be humble, have faith, seek the Holy Spirit, to me there is just so much to remember when praying that I'm concentrating on all that and I keep thinking I'm doing something wrong.
I have to have patience, I know that. Let's see I prayed, now I wait, listen and go. I'm still waiting (then I heard, keep praying while waiting). I don't want to keep giving it to God cuz I already lifted that up to him so now I just wait and pray, wait and pray and have FAITH!!!!
So with all that said. I try to do that with all of my prayers and I am just so overwhelmed. Maybe I should just pray not to be overwhelmed with prayer.
Now hopefully I can just lift up my eating habits to Him. I haven't done that yet, I've just been praying about it, that will be next!!!
Thanks for listening
Take Care
Jane

I am no place that I should be right now, but I do have a little advice. I completely understand what you are saying becuase I am ADD and my mind travels everywhere when I pray. I find that it is good to take a little time which I call "pre-prayer time" and just ask God to help clear your mind. Sometimes this can take me as long as 10 minutes to do (today was one of those days). Hope this helps.
Jane,
It sounds to me like you might be trying a bit too hard with prayer. There are definately routines that help some people, but if you're getting hung up on the elements of the routine, I'd ditch them...at least for a while. God wants you to speak with Him like you would your best friend that's sitting down next to you. He already knows your thoughts, He just wants you to draw close to Him & He wants to know you're seeking His face. If there's things that you need to pray for, it might help to write them down. I've been doing this for a while & the bonus is you get to see all the ways God has answered your prayers. It has certainly helped to build my faith.
You'll figure it out. It takes time to develope a prayer life. Love ya, Dianna
I have actually been thinking about starting a notebook for prayer and checking off answered prayers. Actually I have to start a notebook for the prayer chain but I want to start one anyway because I think its a good idea.
