COVID definitely came out of nowhere but through this time it has taught me so many things while I have been in lockdown. One of the most important things that it has taught me has been to spend time in prayer daily.
I grew up in a Christian home and prayer has always been an important part of our daily lives but to tell the truth, in the past couple of years I didn’t take much time out of my day to pray just me and God every day. It was one of the biggest stumbling blocks in my walk with Christ because I wasn’t talking with Him daily. Because I wasn’t talking with Him our relationship wouldn’t grow that much.
During COVID our church divided into a couple of smaller house churches so that we could still meet together and lower the risk of spreading the disease around. The leader of the house church I was a part of had us choose assignments so that we would stay in the Word during the craziness of COVID. Mine was to spend at least 20 minutes in prayer each day. Since starting, I have seen so much growth in my relationship with God and now I feel so much closer to Him then I have ever felt in my life. Taking time to pray each day has changed my life in so many ways. I can see His hand working a lot easier than before, I don’t struggle with some of the things I had been struggling with for years, I often see the positive side of things now, and so much more. It is so amazing what spending time alone with God daily can do to your life. Now my prayer time is now one of my favorite parts of the day and I can’t imagine not taking that time with God, the creator of Heaven and Earth.
Talk to you guys soon!
You come from a long line of praying women and I’m so grateful to hear how God is working in your heart in this difficult season. My own practice of prayer has grown significantly during this time. ??????
Sorry… Those were supposed to be hearts, not question marks 🙂
Awesome stuff! Off to a good start!
