Setting aside time

My desk at work is not the ideal place for quiet reflection. There are distractions every few minutes – phone calls and a near constant stream of people.

When attempting to once again have a more consistent time of bible reading and prayer, sometimes you have to seize every opportunity you have...like at my desk. My problem tends to be that it just slips away from my mind and I only think about it at the wrong times.

Am I the only one that struggles with this?

Surely not.

I’m not at all hoping to find out that I’m not alone. Nope. Not at all.

Anyone? Anyone?

Ahem.

Seriously though, my hope and prayer is that I will eventually have this habit well established. I want to grow in all the ways God would prompt. And that, quite simply, begins with spending more and more time with him.

Dear Lord,

I ask that you continue to bring this goal to the forefront of my mind. Help me set aside time to spend with you, learning and growing in grace. Give me wisdom and kindness to deal with each new challenge that I face.

In your name,

Amen
