Lots of prayer thoughts today… in the chapel at the temple the first two songs were “Did you think to pray” and “Secret Prayer.” While there I also had time to talk to God in prayer. Can I be really honest? I’m still working on the hearing and understanding the Read more…
I’m sure you don’t really care to hear it (yet again this week), but I am so tired!! I put in almost 50 hours at work this week. Ridiculous. And my sleep has definitely suffered. But I have stuck with this blog project and prayer project, despite it keeping me Read more…
Be faithful, praying always, with trimmed lamps. Again,I am somewhat surprised at how direct a single verse can be in providing direction and insight. Knowing the broad arc of the scriptures is very useful, but I think I was missing something before I learned the power of a single verse. Read more…
These verses have arguably nothing to do with prayer. However, they are frequent comfort verses for me, and reflect the feelings I can get from prayer. Several years ago, my friend Rachel set these two verses to music. I still wish I had a recording of it, but the memory Read more…
I don’t want to mope or whine or relive the past. Truly. If you want to know more, well…. You will understand. Valentines Day 2012. Enough said? I didn’t think it would be hard this year. Most of the emotional hurt from him is completely gone. But given today and Read more…

One of the biggest changes I’ve noticed during the past few days of this project is that I think sour prayer and scriptures more often, with more purpose. Today as I drove to work, I learned that the Pope is resigning… Something that hasn’t happened since the 15th century or Read more…
Interestingly, I found this scripture last night while doing my “normal” scripture study. It caught my attention, and I really liked getting into it today. I’m not sure I’ve seen another scripture that so clearly spells out the blessings of prayer. First, their prayers are frequent, even habitual parts of Read more…
I’m taking a different road tonight, for a few reason. First, I am dead tired. As in, between Friday and today, I have had multiple people ask if I am tired because I sure look it. And yes, I have been very tired those days. Tonight I am again attempting to Read more…
