Extraordinary Prayer - Expecting Great Things

O Lord, I notice in my life how often I get so busy with so many things. I get obsessed with staying on top of things, busying myself with things to be informed, and suddenly I have so many things in my life I am trying to accomplish and do and then i am just staying busy but not really accomplishing much. Like the magazine Christianity Today. I love reading it, but it is easy for me to make it an obsession as I start getting RSS feeds on every article that gets added and somehow think I must read every article. It is interesting information, but is it just knowledge overload and what am I doing with the information, if anything. I am tempted to feel a need to look at Twitter and Facebook and other sites to stay informed, and yet for what? It is not fruitful. And yet, in my life I am noticing how I can try to justify not praying or not visiting people in need. I can justify a need to relax and sit in front of the tube and just drain time away. Deal with me God. Wake me up. Re-shift wha...

God, I am depressed. I am struggling with being pursued and of interest. I want that, but that is a struggle, a need I believe I have right now and rather than focusing on the unmet expectation, I turn to you. I run to You God. I lean on You. I surrender to You. Meet me in this moment and assure me of the Love you have for me. Help me to remember you pursue me and you want me. I have been struggling with prayer Lord and what it means. I am not praying much these days. I lean on You for help. I need to find my rest in You and Your promises. Make that more than enough Lord. You are more than enough and I want that to be more than words I say or a song I sing, but a reality of meaning in my life. Bring a smile back to my face Lord. Bring contentment. Bring joy. Bring peace and assurance of Your love for me.
