Dear Lord,
I'm sorry that the past few days I let myself fall back into the old routine of keeping You separate from a lot of aspects of my life. I hate keeping You small and I guess I'm doing it because I'm home so I'm slipping into old habits but I know there is no excuse.
Something I learned today is that prayer requires endurance. I asked You to make my desires match Yours and when mine didn't seem to change, only deepen, I thought maybe this is how You wanted me to feel. But now I'm thinking that's not the case. I'm thinking I need to continue to pray this prayer multiple times a day and I need to really mean it.
Thank You for continuing to send me gifts that reflect Your love for me. They are worth more than any material gift that will be exchanged this Christmas. I love You Lord. I know not enough, but thank You for having patience with me everyday.
The sacrifice acceptable to God is a broken spirit.
Psalm 51:17
