Always maintain the habit of prayer: be both alert and thankful as you pray. ~ Colossians 4:2 (Phillips)
KEY IDEA:
The Lord wants a close relationship with each of us.PRAYER:
Loving God, thank you for initiating a relationship with me. I'm so grateful that you want to be close to me. I want that, too. But I am prone to drift with my feelings. I am easily distracted. That means I need you even more and I appreciate your patience with me. Help me to make prayer a habit. Help me to pray with an alert mind and a thankful heart. I'm going to stay close. Amen.
