Looking Back

A few posts back I talked about quiet times with God and how important those times were to all of us.  As I have been searching the last few days and trying to unravel all the twists and turns of my confusion, one of the things I realize is the lack of regular time spent with the Lord.  I have been remiss to commit a set time to pray, read and worship Him.  Oh, I whisper that quick prayer as I rush through my morning or as I put my head on my pillow.  I know that God wakens me in the middle of the night with someone on my mind and I will pray feverently for them.  I am quick to pray for my patients and co-workers.  I read scriptures here and there...after all I do have the Bible on my IPod with me all the time.  But that intimate relationship that I once had with my Lord has drifted and that frightful luke warm temperature in my relationship with God has occurred.  I have now recommitted to be more diligent and committed to prayer, reading my Bible and worship.  As I have examined all the things that I need to change, my spiritual well-being is at the very center of everything.  So now I am one step closer to working out all that I know must be "fixed" and that won't happen overnight.  I know that just saying that I need a quiet time is not enough; that it will take effort because I am a creature of habit and I have some bad habits that will have to be broken and new habits made.  Feel free to comment and offer any suggestions.   Thanks for reading.
