(Friday, July 8)
“Continue
steadfastly in prayer, being watchful in it in gratitude;”
(Col
(
How, in
practical terms, does one go about prayerfully “being watchful,” – and
not only “watchful,”
but “in
gratitude”? In practice, I find that the two are connected. When I am “watchful,” I take note of the ups and downs of my day, jotting these down in
a notebook for just a few minutes before I go to sleep. And in connection with
prayer this little exercise brings me gratitude, because I begin to see my life as God’s work in progress, as a
journey in Him, rather than letting it pass me by meaninglessly. So for me, “life” is not, as John Lennon sadly noted, “what happens to
you while you’re busy making other plans.”
Today let
me take a few minutes to “be watchful,” because I know that this brings me
gratitude, - and gratitude changes everything. Lord, open my eyes today, that I
may see what You have to show me, in the circumstances, failures or successes
You send my way this summer day.
