Earlier in the summer, as I have mentioned before, I really felt a need for a revitalization of my spiritual life. And those feelings and convictions come and go...
But, upon describing how I really wanted to be connected with God and do an intense daily devotion, I received feedback, that such a hope may be unrealistic. I cannot always be connected: in order to feel really connected, you have to know what it feels like to be disconnected.
So, here I am again, feeling a bit disconnected. Not making time for one-on-one moments with God.
But, I have been working harder to pray more consistently, and a big part of that is by making prayer a much more casual thing.
I have a twenty minute drive to and from work, and some days I turn off the radio and try to pray while I am driving. Yet, I find myself praying a bit, then getting completely distracted. My mind runs completely wild! Within moments I have begun to think about what I need to tell someone, or what I will be doing the next day, etc.
The question I am pondering is...why do I get so easily distracted? Does anyone else ever have problems with this?
I don't know what the cause is, but it becomes very frustrating. Just saying.
