Pray.About.It.

How old were you when you first started praying?

I remember Sunday School on Sundays and VBS for a week during the summer as a kid growing up.

We would pray together there as groups and learned the Lord’s Prayer to recite on our own.

I honestly can’t remember my exact age I started praying. But I do know I was at church in Sunday School everyday Sunday with my little brother while my mom was working. At 33 years old now, this is a time I’m looking back at and wondering when I started to know God and trust him and know he saved my life already.

I have a 10 & 11 year old daughter and I’ve finally pushed my last 7 months to the Lord and trusted him to make decisions with me. With that, I’ve come very resilient and preserved and conquering growth in ways I didn’t know I needed to.

About a month ago, we were driving down the road and my oldest yelled at me, “Mom, you really are a good Christian, I can see it for a few months now; your such a good mom too.” Tears hit my face.. that is what I needed, my little mini me’s to report back to me on their own that they saw a difference in me, they saw the Christian side of me now.

Having my daughter acknowledge me was such a good feeling. But there are lots of days I still struggle with just praying about it and trusting the Lord. I’m in a spot where I need to change my thinking; the devil is still trying to cut in and control my emotions and ways of thinking.

Church sermon today was huge… my notes on it as follows.

The Christian walk isn’t always the easiest. Have a thankful heart, be grateful and have faith. Even the tiniest mustard seed of faith…. Faith can do so much.

Call upon him. Serve the Lord & others. Repent. Get your heart in the right place. Praise him for our salvation. Allow God to work in your heart.

Favorite verses from church today: Psalm 100 & Psalm 103.

Most all, Pray about it. Let God in. Trust him.
