Prayer

I've been thinking about prayer a lot lately. After growing up in a Christian environment and now attending a Christian college, I've heard and said the phrase "I'll pray for you" more times than I could ever possibly count. And I think that it's lost its meaning.

Take a minute to think about all the people you've told you'd pray for them this week. How many times have you actually done it? I've been really convicted about this lately. I can have the best of intentions, and even remember to pray for them once or twice, but it's not always continual prayer.

I feel like saying you'll pray for someone has become a phrase - something to say when you're not sure what to say. That's dumb. And I don't like it. So I'm gonna try to change that in myself. I've made up a prayer list of all the people I've said I'd pray for reccently. It's going right by my bed - the patch of wall I see last before I fall asleep every night. Maybe that will even help me get to sleep better... praying. I want to try and pray with people immediately when I say I'm gonna be praying for them.

I dunno. This is just what was on my heart and mind lately. I love you all. Till next time!
