Question from a Reader......

Christie- As a busy mom, when do make the time to pray? Or do you pray 'unceasingly' as others do? I would love to know. I loved your post today and would love to learn from you.

Jane, thanks for the question and the compliments. I am humbled, truly.
I would love to say I pray "unceasingly" but I cannot say that. I pray when it hits me. I pray where it hits me. I pray when I can. Sometimes that means in the car,  while cooking dinner, during the kids' nap-time, while on the computer, in the shower, before bed---truly, all throughout my day, I pray off and on. Some days, I pray more...and, honestly, there are days, I don't pray near as much I need too. I cannot say I don't pray as much as I should. "Should", to me, implies a chore. I pray because I want to, not because I should do it. I've learned to pray more during this
"I will go before you and will level the mountains; I will break down gates of bronze and cut through bars of iron. I will give you hidden treasures, riches stored in secret places, so that you may know that I am the LORD, the God of Israel, who summons you by name." Isaiah 45:2-3 (NIV)
