Day 11 - Becoming Best Friends with God
He wants to be included in every activity, every conversation, every problem, and even every thought. A constant conversation.
The key to a friendship wth God is not changing what you do but changing your attitude. I think waking up and praying "God let me glorify you today in all I do" and then proceeding to live your life with God as your priority. You must train your mind to remember God though. Make some post it notes, or put a bible on your nightstand, toliet...
I LOVED the page about meditation. If you can worry constantly about something throughout the day - you can meditate on the word! If something is bothersome - you can't stop thinking about it. If you change your thought to a scripture it will eventually train your mind to think scripture instead of waste. Awesome!
What can you do to remind yourself to think about God and talk to him more often throughout the day?
I made a prayer list and laminated it at school :) I'm going to put it in my car on the dash board.
ReplyDeleteThat is a great idea Laur. I will have to do the same--the 15 minute drive to and from work is sometimes the only alone, quiet time I get all day. So I might as well use it to its full benefit:)
ReplyDeleteI remember one time when I was watching the Duggars, when they brought Josie home, they made some comment about praising God during the good and they were going to continue to praise him during the bad. I sometimes feel like it is the opposite for me--when something isn't going great I feel like that is when I pray, think, and talk to God the most. Then when everything is going great, it seems like I often forget to continue the conversation and thank Him for everything that is great at that moment. This is something I definitely need to work on and hopefully a prayer list will be a good little reminder of what I should be doing.
I'm thinking me and erin have the same mind right now. haha. I do the same thing. when all is fine and dandy I forget to thank Him for how awesome my life is. Then when something totally sucks I can't talk to him enough. what kind of friend is that! prayer list. sounds good to me.
