Okay. Rough day for prayer. No real good excuses just struggled in focus. Distractions were a plenty and I think they got the best of me. I found time to pray, but it wasn't the moments of silence and listening that I was hoping for. Today was more about praying for needs I was aware of, asking God to help me see how to follow, and thanking him for many good things I have been seeing in my life and in lives around me.
In hindsight I know I let myself get out of sync. When I am intentional about changing things up it seems to work well, but when I am trying to flow in my disciplines and normal routine and just let other things become priority, I keep saying...I'll get to it next. Next is another word for saying I am going to keep bumping it down the list.
Once again though, just a friendly reminder that we live in grace. My rough days don't dictate God's love for me. His love is relentless. And it is because of that love that I want to pray. Keep your motives pure, avoid legalism and enjoy the conversation with all of its highs and lows.
Prayer update on Ashlyn: She is home. That is a beautiful answer to prayer.

God's love is relentless... I needed that.
