Challenged!

Last night I was at a Bible study, and we talked about the importance of 'The Lord's Prayer'. I was reminded of when I was younger, and I used to use it as a very direct guide for my praying. I would recite the prayer line by line, and after each line I would add my own take on it, kind of. For instance, when saying, "give us today our daily bread," I would continue by telling God about my needs. Or, when asking God to "forgive our sins as we forgive those who sin toward us," I would bring up my own sins, and the ways that other people had hurt me.

Last night while at the Bible study, or maybe soon afterwards, I had another thought. You know, the Lord's Prayer is broken up into seven pieces. More or less. And I just had a thought, that maybe I could sort of recalibrate my prayer life, by taking a day to focus on each of the seven points. Sort of like a week-long devotional. That I write as I go along.

In conjunction with the idea, as I thought about it more, I started thinking about how I honestly don't post on this blog very much. I have trouble disciplining myself, especially in things that run more on inspiration rather than calculated thinking. So, why not document my thoughts as I go through the Lord's Prayer, and just upload them, one piece or two at a time? So that's what I'm going to be doing. If you want, you can check back each day to see where I'm at, or you can come back at the end of the week and read through all of the posts in order. When I'm done, I will post them in chronological order on the sidebar.

However this thing goes down, I appreciate you guys taking this journey with me! Thanks for supporting me even though I don't post on here that much.

With love to you all,
