Prayer, God , and Giving Thanks .

"Maybe the reason for the pain , is so we could pray for strength. And maybe the reason for the strength is so we would not lose hope and maybe for our hope is so we could face the world. and the reason for the world is to make us long for home."

This is one of my favorite verses from one of my favorite songs from one of my favorite artists {use enough "favorite" for you?} Amazing how something like a simple song can effect some of our deepest emotions. For so long we get caught up in school and work and kids and family we lose track of what truly matters, what GAVE us those things. God.

Why is it we allow things like what to wear and what to do get in the way of prayer? Why is it we can make time to send a text but not to thank God for everything.

I challenge you right now to pray atleast three times this week. Just thank him for allowing you to live, for your family, your friends, your strength, your inspirations, being healthy. Look around you, HE gave you that, Thank him for it.
