Please Take Time to Pray Today

I know that we get really busy with life, deployment, kids, jobs, stress, trying not to be stressed...please take a few minutes today on the Sabbath to pray. As the Benedictine Nuns I hung out with this summer reminded me, God will not speak to you if you do not make quiet time in your life to hear God.

You can turn off the car radio on the way to work to pray or take a few quiet minutes at lunch to listen to God. There is no "recipe" for a good prayer and everyone does it a little differently, but I try to do a few things each time I pray. Here's an example: Feel free to give respect for God's power in your life, Thank God for all that God has done in your life, Confess any item that has been weighing heavy on your heart, and lastly ask God's help with problems or situations that are beyond your control. Remember that it is ok to be mad at God. God understands. The most important thing is that you pray, in whatever form that takes.

Blessings,
