I think today told me something I needed to hear. Today was a really rough day. With the kids being sick (Jacee being very sick), work being crazy and hectic, and just having all kinds of junk plop on my head (figuratively) made it draining and depressing. This evening as I finally got a minute to rest, I realized that I had left God out of the day. I realized that my prayers today were held to a minimum...as in none. The truth is, my prayer life in the past few weeks has not been anything other than a joke. I have left God out of my difficulties and have had very little communication with Him. All intimacy with Jesus has dwindled recently and I now see the results, definitely. It has not been fun.
God says to come to Him with anything and everything. He wants us to depend on Him. Where we are weak, He is strong. He is there to lift us up and to take our burdens and cares from us...if we will only come to Him, and with them in hand. This is something that I have lost sight of in the recent weeks and is something I totally regret. I have been in a state of independence, and that is dangerous. As hard as today was, it has given me encouragement. It has encouraged me to never stop talking to Jesus, to never keep Him out of anything. When we keep Jesus close and share with Him, things are always better.
Tomorrow should be a good day.
