Katie's prayer: Kutless' "Take Me In"

I hunger and thirst for Your righteousness
but it's only found in one place.

I like this song, but I completely disagree with the above lyrics. It's my belief that you can find God anywhere. From looking at the beauty of a sunrise or sunset, to looking at the beauty of nature around, to experiencing God's love from the people around you, in your successes and failures, etc. And I just got the feeling from this song (especially the above lyrics) that the singer felt the only way to find God was to go into the Holy of Holies.

But I guess, as good as finding God in nature is, and as good as fellowship is, and as good as finding God in every situation is, it's really nothing compared to going to Mass and Adoration and personal prayer. It's nothing compared to just spending time with God, no distractions. I think this week I'm going to concentrate more on just that time with God, something that recently hasn't been getting as much attention.
