Megan's prayer: Todd Agnew's "Grace Like Rain"

Sometimes I get into the mindset that there is a deadline, or a final day, that I have to get all my praying in by. For example, this Thursday is Exalt, a praise and worship/adoration experience. I am very excited to go... I've been needing this sort of thing for awhile now.

The problem is that it becomes such a build up for me. For the days leading up to it, I think about it a lot, trying to mentally prepare for that day, but because I'm thinking so much about the future, I forget to focus on the now - on the praising God in this moment.

Similar things happen after it is over. I go through a sad moment (whether it be 2 seconds or a day) where all I can think about is what has happened... and start wondering when the next time I will have that sort of experience will be. What I am forgetting is exactly what the line in the song today is telling me.

We've no less days to sing Your praise
Than when we first begun

There is no deadline, or end date, by which I have to get all my praises out. This is a life long activity, and one that most likely even extends into life after we have died. I will have the chance to praise God forever.
