I have been thinking a lot about prayer lately. I am not good at it. I am really good at staying in touch with all of my friends, a little too good, but cannot find the time to remember to pray. I know that at some point everyone goes through this and now it is my turn. I am just hoping to choose the right path, the one that leads me closer to God, and eternal life. I am not one to be preachy about things, because I do not see myself as being a great Christian influence, but I need to be. I am raising my children to spend their eternity with God, but I do not feel like I am a good influence. There is something wrong with that. I read the book "The Power of a Praying Wife"
and loved it. For a little while I was able to say the prayers and live the book, but then life got busy. So now with all of the complications of life, shouldn't I be more focused on prayer? The answer is yes, but how? A new challenge..........

I have found your blog. I will have to add it to my blog roll. Good post. I am reading power of a praying wife now and it is such a good book. Talk to you soon.
We all struggle with that at one time or another... or in my case, lots of times. I guess it is all about constant striving to be closer to Him, whatever it takes. And for me, it takes those moments of realization like you just wrote about! Reading it was a good influence for me by the way. :) :) :)
Marli,
You're telling the story of my life. But I've been on a journey for the last 2 years that has really helped me to become a praying person. I'd love to pass on what I've learned. Stop by the office sometime, and we can chat about it.
