Praying all the time
Why do we find ourselves praying only when it is convenient for us?Or is this just me? We are so quick to pray to God when we are in trouble, or when we need something to go in the right direction. I am in this predicament right at the moment. I caught myself. I apologized to God for this, but I feel that He is always with me, but I need to feel His presence more when something has happened. I get scared and realize that I will not make it out of this situation without His help. Is this a selfish move on my part? Is it wrong? I pray all the time, but I find them to be way more detailed at times of drama. Maybe that is part of my problem, I do not know when to pray. (Romans 8:26) "In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express." But if the Spirit interceded, am I praying correctly?

I believe that sometimes we bring unnecessary troubles on ourselves by not praying... but those troubles are gifts - blessings from GOD! It is through those troubles that He allows us opportunities to get back on track and to seek His face. :) But no, you're not alone... we are all human, and the devil is crafty - I've found that since I'm not really a good person for him to try to 'tempt'... Satan tries to get me bogged down in GOOD things. Sometimes, we can be doing things we SHOULD be doing but allowing those things to take away from our time with God. Does that make sense? We have to learn a good balance, and pray for discernment!! But the key is definitely PRAY! If you don't let your focus be taken away from him, you won't have a chance to sink. When you condition yourself to make time for Him, He won't have to bless you with opportunities to put you back on path, so things get a LOT easier. :)
