This week our Taking A Look At series asks, Am I Praying? And the reason we bring this up is because someday, it may be too late. For example: Are things going pretty good, you and your family are happy? Or you feel you have the typical challenges but your job is good and you're optimistic that things will keep getting better? But what about that day when a distracted driver runs a red life and plows right into you, flipping your car over and you now smell gasoline leaking out all over - and there you are stuck, you can't get out and you hope that nothing causes a spark. Are you willing to say a prayer then? What if it wasn't you but it happened to your wife or your child? Do you pray for them? It all boils down to the decision that we have to make. Is prayer something I believe in? |
I know this is a challenging subject but if we want to embrace our faith, we must also look at our prayers, or the lack of them. If you are not on track on your prayers as you would like - now is a great time to start. Why? We need to remember that the road we travel - called life - is full of ups and downs, surprises and yes . . . times we can be so happy, and times when we can be so sad. Just remember - if you pursue your faith and your prayers, it doesn't mean you will have a trouble free life, but you will be prepared for what life will unleash - the good, the bad and everything in between. |
