It’s insidious. You don’t even know it’s happening. The initial reasons all seem worthy and innocuous, and you imagine, “There’s always tomorrow. Just this once.” So you chip away at it, you excuse yourself, you rationalize, and then, finally, you stop. Game over.

“Today, I have a very busy day ahead of me, I need to get a head start on things. So I’ll cut the time down just a bit.” The next day as you settle into your focus, your busied mind is taken away by some pressing worries, and you succumb by heading over to your laptop to send out just a few emails. You were just certain that would do the trick and let you focus, even though it didn’t. The following day, before you even begin, you decide you will just quick-check the news first, get that out of the way, and then go right to it. But “it” never happens . . .

And so it goes. You’ve stopped praying.


God, help me to keep on praying.
 
After what I have received, I cannot stop praying. Some days are better than others, but each day has prayer. Even if our day has gone poorly, it is only 24 hours long and will soon be over - it could have been much worse than it was. Therefore, thanks are in order.

For myself, I ask for strength and give thanks. All the rest are for others.

Yes, there have been miracles in my life also - I need to keep praying so i can express my gratitude for it all.
 
Like St Teresa of Avila said: prayer is the greatest of all gifts, the channel through which God grants us favors, the beginning of all virtue.
