I am so excited to begin my day!! Knowing God is so exhilarating...and I am so happy!! With Him, my worries seem to fade away. Is that even possible?? It seems so. And I'm certainly okay with it.
I remember, when I attended Bible Camp (in Sydney, NS), we would have study time up in our cabins. We would read and pray, and discuss how our day is going, and to express anything that has been bothering us. There were two really interesting activities we did. The first one; we would each pick somebody and tell them what we admired about that person! I recall choosing one of my friends, Katie. I told her how much I admired her serious attitude when making decisions ..like she meant what she said when she said it-or something like that anyways. I thought it was nice activity to do, to open up and express honest things and to praise somebody and make them feel good! Which isn't something we do often enough.
Now, the second activity was keeping a journal entry of prayers. We would make a list of prayers, and date them. We would check up and see if any prayers have been answered and which ones. Looking back on that, you realize what is really important to you. Some pray, asking God to deliver gifts as if He were Santa and that He would do as they say! Because if not, they will be very upset....which is awful! And so wrong. Did we forget the Lord Jesus, is a King? YOUR KING...Who created you gave you life! And HE can take it away, too. Remember that, your life is in your God's hands.
When we pray, we should keep in mind WHO we are praying to...to thank the LORD for what he has already given us, and his mercy, to praise his awesomeness, and to simply let him know how important he truly is in our lives, to talk to him about anything and everything! Because he is our Father, and even he wants to know how we're doing, and about our worries and stresses and thoughts so that he can help us! He loves being there for us, and being our first and foremost priority.
