JUST PRAY

Sooo this week has been kind of crazy, I won't lie. School and planning ministry stuff on campus, then doing volunteer ministry stuff off campus, especially yesterday, really took a lot out of me. Even today, I felt like I was in a funk, and really felt restless. But today I realized that pretty much the sole reason for me being worn out is that I did not take intentional time to commune and be with God. The devotional from April 29th really sticks out. I guess I never realized that one of the few recorded things in scripture that the disciples asked Jesus to teach them was to pray, so that was cool to read/realize. It seems like such a simple thing, but somehow I overlooked and underestimated the power of sitting down and truly praying. Not just before I go to bed, or get up in the morning, or to start off a Bible study. But really taking the time to communicate with the Father, letting Him know my needs and anxieties and my praises. Earlier tonight, I really took that time to pray more genuinely and intentionally, and it was super freaking peaceful y'all. It legit turned my day around, it was wild. Super good lesson in the power of prayer and the need for consistent and deliberate conversation with God.
