Everyday the world follows certain routines; things which are considered normal for each individual. Bathing, dressing, eating, sleeping, working, school, driving, and play are just a few items I can think I of. However, for some people we can add to that list. Praying, praising, worshipping, adoring are just some things that we as Christians consider routine.

In bible study we are learning about prayer; the invitation, the response and the routine. I wonder, as you read this do you ask yourself what kind of routine you follow. Do you consider yourself one of the many who call prayer time a routine within your day? God invites us to pray to Him. He wants to hear our petitions, praises, fears, anger, all of it. We are part of a package deal. The good, the bad, the ugly. Yet when we make prayer part of our routine we are asking God’s presence in our daily life. And, when we truly hand difficulties over to Him during our prayer time we are freeing ourselves to be all God plans us to be. He is taking control and giving direction.

Thank you God for routines and the rich blessing which is your way of guiding us, your people. Amen
