I've been realizing more and more how important prayer is to my everyday life. During the first week or so, I started thinking about the different things that I don't ask God about or even mention to Him. If what I am doing is not a big decision, I felt like it wasn't something that I needed to talk to Him about. I realized then that I need to constantly be talking to my Creator about what is going on in my life. I have been working on that since, and already I feel a difference in my everyday life.
The other day Cameron mentioned something to the effect that he had done ministry that day and felt like he had not focused on God being apart of it. In that moment I realized that I have not been asking for God's blessing or presence as I go into the schools. I know that others on my team have been doing that, but I need to personally do it myself. I have also been trying to do this every time I go somewhere to minister to others.
Then yesterday in class, Pastor Randy said something that made me think even more about the way I talk to God. He said something like, you need God as much sitting here in class as you do when you go out into the schools to minister.
I realize now that growing in any area of my life is a process. I can't just say, I will pray constantly and about everything and everyone. I need to take it one step at a time and continue to try, even if in the first month I am not doing it right all of the time. I am learning a lot about myself through this process as well. I can already notice a difference. I hope that I continue to grow in that aspect.

I thought that was really interesting what Pastor Randy said too, about how we need God just as much in class as we do in the schools. It's easy to forget that. I tend to get too caught up in business that I barely pray... but I have to keep remembering how much I need Him.
