Day 9

I really don't know if anyone follows these posts closely or not. If you do, you might have noticed that I didn't post yesterday. I made a commitment to pray with you for 21 straight days and it didn't happen. 

But I will be honest - yesterday I didn't completely forgot. Sometimes you just have to take a step back and away from everything. In life we try to make commitments all the time. We try to get on the best diets and workout plans only to be right back where we started most of the time.

The important thing is how you respond. How do you respond when you forgot to do something you were committed to? Do you just give up? Or do you wake up the next day and do it again?

We are not perfect by any means. Your routines aren't going to be perfect. How you try to structure your day isn't going to be perfect. But when you focus on what you can control and get after it each day, that is what will lead to the growth that you really want. 

Day 9: Dear heavenly Father, thank you for another beautiful day and an amazing weekend. I pray that you be with us more than ever this week. It's a start to a new week. I pray for those who often struggle with commitments. I pray that we don't get too down on ourselves and give up. I pray that no matter what we get up each day and try again. It's never about how well we do at something - it's about how hard we try.
