Why is it that I always have such a tendency to put almost everything before my sweet, quiet time with Jesus? No matter how hard I try to place this much needed time first, something happens… the phone rings, my dogs bark at the back door begging to go outside, someone needs my help with something, and so on. You are probably getting my point, by now. I find myself trying to fit my quiet prayer time in while doing other activities like driving to my job, while out on my daily jog or just putting the dishes away from the dishwasher. But is this fair to Jesus? NO! He deserves all of my attention and praise with every ounce of energy I have, and I should be fully focused on Him during this time. He doesn’t just give us half of His attention… we get all of it… we are His children, and he blesses us in so many ways that it’s sometimes hard for me to wrap my brain around! My Father in Heaven deserves my complete and undivided attention. My true desire now is becoming an attentive daughter to Him… to love and fully devote my attention to Him and His will. He is so worthy of ALL of my praise… surely my morning isn’t complete without time given to Him alone, without distractions. Just me and Jesus.
But I cry to you for help, O Lord; in the morning my prayer comes before you. Psalm 88:13.
