Katie's prayer: Matt Maher's "Christ is Risen"

Come awake
Come awake
Come and rise up from the grave

Sometime between Tuesday night and Wednesday morning my “wake up with a slightly sore throat and small congested nose but after a half hour it disappears” turned into a full blown sickness. Super sore throat that lasted all day, congested nose, dehydrated, and then a bunch of other symptoms that seemed to come and go, sometimes swapping one for another (fever, nauseous feeling, achyness, slight cough). The middle of today I realized I’m getting better. I guess I’m not dying of this cold (which if you had asked me the middle of the day Wednesday, I would have said yes).

Between my not feeling well and the internet deciding not to work, I dropped off on the praying. I had iTunes, and now that I’m the only one doing it, I just select right from there, not from an email account. I use MacJournal to write out my prayers. The only issue was that it wouldn’t be posted online. Stupid reason, I know, but I allowed that reason to get to me. I allowed that reason to keep me from praying a song for the day. Wednesday, I did actually pray (not with song, but yet still prayed). Thursday I didn’t pray at all. Today I decided it was time to get back on the wagon. It didn’t matter if the internet worked or not, I was praying and I was writing about it, who cares if it ever gets posted. And wouldn’t you know it... that’s when the internet works - when I’m searching for the lyrics, and maybe when I go to post this.

Dear Jesus, I’m human, I mess up. I’m sorry for staying away from You for stupid reasons. I think I’ll need Your help to not do it again. Cause like I said... I’m human, I mess up.
