Ground Hog Day

At our saturday night service I was truly blessed. As it has been the last bunch of meetings, we devoted the evening to prayer (both learning about it and doing it). The blessing I got was from one of our 20 somethings prayer. She prayed outloud, in front of the group. That evening so did alot of people.
What made hers touching was the way she prayed. It was very personal. It was honestly a conversation between her and God. She poured her heart out. She scolded herself for not waking up everyday remembering all the amazing things God did for her the day before. Her tears were real, her prayer was real, and her difficulties were real.
This made me start to think of all the times that I woke up each morning and began to wonder if God could really get me through the day. Why is it that so many times we need to have God re-demonstrate to us how awesome He really is? Then, of course, my A.D.D. kicked in.
Ground Hog Day. No, not February 2nd. The movie. You know the one with Andie Mcdowell and Bill Murray. "...I got you babe". What if everymorning when we woke up the alarm clock played the same song? Awesome God, God of Wonders, Never Let Go, Always There For You (had to reference Stryper), any song that reminded us that God is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. If we heard that everymorning I would like to think that after a while, the ideas would stick with us and we could save some valuable time.
It does not work that way. So until that day comes I will join my sister in prayer that we will remember that God is number one in our lives, everyday, in every situation, no matter what.

Yes, that is so very important, but not always easy. Thanks for this reminder! I want to wake up everyday feeling that way too!
