I’m kind of a perfectionist (although I hate to admit it), so if I forget something or mess something up, I cannot get over it easily. How God forgives and forgets my sins is so totally amazing to me! :)
But anyway, I’m going through this Summer (June 1st – August 31st) devotional with my church on the book of John. It’s divided into Weeks and Days (So tomorrow I’ll do ‘Week Four – Day Five’) and at the beginning of every week is a section for prayer requests. I keep a regular list and a new list and I pray for them each time I settle in for a Bible reading. Having a list helps me remember to pray and helps me remember what to pray for and then opens the door for me to talk to God with more than just “Bless Susie, Heal Mark, Guide Patrick…” etc. Once I start, it’s like I can’t stop. It’s like talking to a friend. God is so amazing – he listens to my wants, but always fulfills my needs. And he desires to hear my voice.
