Let us take a moment now to bow our heads and pray
if only to give thanks for making it through another day
I love this part of the song. Really, I love the entire song completely! It’s so upbeat and makes you wanna dance kind of music. Then this part comes along, slower. With a super great message. While I do talk to God throughout the entire day, I feel like night time is that time to take a moment and really pray. Not just a sentence here or there, but some real time to pause and have an actual conversation with God. Take some time to reflect on the day. What did i do today? Was it a successful day or did I waste my time? What did God do in my heart today? Or did I spend my day ignoring Him? Some days leave me with huge lessons learned. Some days, I really have no other prayer beyond, thanks for helping me survive today. But the whole point is to take that time, allow God to really speak to me.
Sometimes, it’s so easy to allow myself to shove this time aside, it takes too much time, I’m too tired, I have to be awake early tomorrow, I attended some event and getting back too late, etc. All these excuses try to get me to stop. As you may have noticed, sometimes I let those excuses get to me and give in to not blogging - not even praying. Dear Jesus, please give me the strength to always take the time to bow my head and pray, even when I’m tired, even when it’s late, even when I’m sleep deprived, even when I’d rather be sleeping.
