Our habits and routines can produce either positive or negative effects in our lives! The habit of drinking alcohol, over the years, opened the door to a life of dependency and addiction. Carrying on a family defect that has effected generations in my family. However, as I have shared many times, the bondage of addiction is now in the process of being overtaken by faith, hope and sobriety. First there was one, now there are three!
Psalms 31:24 Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the LORD.
In His time, God has proven that He is answering my prayers. I thank Him for his faithfullness; I also thank him for nurturing and developing my patience and understanding of His LOVE!
Isaiah 49:8-9 This is what the LORD says; "In time of my favor I will answer you, and in the day of salvation I will help you; I will keep you and will make you to be a covenant for the people, to restore the land and to reassign its desolate inheritances, to say to the captives, "Come out, and to those in darkness, "Be Free!"
Five months ago when I was doing my Little Debbie job, I had acquired some good habits and routines. As I drove my big brown truck, I was as alone with God in the privacy of my traveling sanctuary. I opened each day in prayer, praising, requesting and thanking God the Father for each new day. Often speaking out loud and having many, many conversation with Him through-out my delivery day.
I felt connected, loved and constantly aware of His presences; it was as if others also felt his presences, as I often shared and prayed this total strangers. It`s a joy to got back and read some of these precious memories.
Much to my dismay, I have slowly fallen away from my faithfullness to daily prayer. My routine has changed; life as, an at home wife and caregiver, during my hubbies surgery recovery, has taken time from my dedication to prayer. It has taken months, slowly but surely my prayer life has suffered.
Yes I still pray, but my mind and soul desire to reconnect, something is missing. What am I going to be about it? Change my routine, get back to the committed and devoted time of prayer. I thank God, for my free will and for my sincere desire to desire HIM.
Psalm 18:1-3 I love you, O LORD, my strength. The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliver; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuse. He is my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. I call to he LORD, who is worthy of praise, and I am saved from my enemies. AMEN!
