Practice morning and evening prayers for 40 days straight

Failed and started again Last night.

Just an update. :)

I’m starting again tonight. I hope the Lord will bless this little endeavor.

I tripped.

Well, it’s day twelve. :D I admit, I did not pray one night, however, I decided to override in this particular instance the consecutiveness and let it slip. I know I am never going to be perfect and if I can go forty days with only one slip I think that’s good enough. It’s when the slipping becomes a trend that it becomes a real problem.

Six days in a row thus far. Yay! Glory to God!

I’m now on day four. Glory to God for helping me do these prayers with more feeling! Lord have mercy on me a sinner.

I broke the chain. I’ll have to restart again.

Last night was very difficult because sin was blocking my path and I didn’t want to pray hypocritically.

Yet, God revealed some verses to me, quite unexpected, that really helped me combat the darkness within me. I’ve now done four days in a row. I’m glad for the temptation last night now, because I’m going to need to persevere in times like that in the future as well, I’m sure.

So far three days. :)
