Pondering Point

Today’s prayer teaching is a call to be both watchful and thankful. But it is not to merely a call to make sure that prayer happens, but to devote oneself to it. What have you been devoted to lately? Or maybe it can be better asked: To what are you devoting yourself?

As you take in this teaching and process it with your spiritual walk, ask yourself what being devoted to prayer would look like for you. Does it mean continuing in your situation or making changes? Would changes be minor tweaks or major overhauls? Do you need to make drastic moves or minor adjustments? Who is being helpful? Who is being harmful? To move on without asking such questions could be seen as failure to be watchful. If you don’t have time to ponder these questions now, devote a later time to address them with the Lord in prayer. Set an alarm on your phone.
