I hope to have a lifestyle of prayer and thanksgiving and I work toward it every day, and fall short every day. I don’t want to just say prayers and maybe sing, I want to get to what Paul described “Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
Falling short does not discourage me though, because I am still walking with the Lord as I go. The key is to keep going. To keep praying and praising, worshipping and giving thanks. This also helps me be watchful of what God is doing in and around me instead of going through the motions of life, oblivious to it like so many others. As I become more aware of how God is working, I have more to pray about. It’s a beautiful process that unfolds as time passes.
