Can you believe that this is actually my third blog? I am really tired tonight so it's a miracle that I am writing anything on here at all. I am a little discouraged at my lack of discipline lately from going to bed at a decent time to getting up early enough in the morning so I'm not rushing out the door balancing a piece of toast in one hand and a glass of something or another in the other. I just have to think there has got to be a way to cut out all this rushing around that I do from day today. Anyway, something you can pray for me about. This is going to be a rather short blog due to the fact that Prayer Meeting starts in an hour and a half. Speaking of prayer....

You know today on the radio I heard something that sort of sent the wheels turning in my brain. Now that is a difficult thing to do right now, especially due to how rusty those wheels have been getting lately. They were talking about persecuted Christians and how we can help them, and this guy made a comment that the least we can do is pray for them. It sort of stopped me in my tracks. I know that probably this dude didn't mean it this way, but I was like hold on, that's really the best thing we can do for them. However, in my own life I know I act just like that. You know, try to help God out as much as I can with my problems, and then after I've done everything I can on my own, I pray. I just don't think God intended prayer to be the last resort, and yet that is how I treat it so often. Just something to think about.
