CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I have a Daily Men’s Devotional on the middle console of my van. My thought of having it there was that I will see it every day and read the paragraph and prayer for each day one of the times I am getting in and out of the van. Because I am not the *best* at follow-through, I usually only actually read it once or twice a week. It’s there every day and I see it, but I have stopped seeing it. It has become like a pebble in your shoe. At first, it is annoying and you notice it constantly. However, after a while, you get used to it and stopped noticing it.

All this to say, I need to be better with my prayer life. I have gone in spurts of praying every day, but it almost never lasts. Speak it into existence, right?!
