BE HONEST WITH YOU
This morning the Lord reminded me of the things we put before Him or allowing to come between our worship and time spent in His presence.THANK GOD for the book, Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World. I am now more conscious and learned so much. I Strongly recommend a copy to everyone!
Can I ask my friends and family to be HONEST with me today?

Here are some Suggestions/Best Practices that I have found to be of great help...
ReplyDeleteMake your prayer be the last thing you do as you doze off to sleep, even if you have said your evening prayer have a talk with the Lord.
Read or focus on a scripture even if its difficult. (use your phone or a c/d to play the scripture to you)
Let worship music (timed) drift off to sleep
When you wake up and can't sleep - do the same thing above, pray, meditate or play a song.
THINGS TO AVOID:
Avoid having to retrieve your phone, remote control upon waking up by putting it away from you that you would have to actually get up to get it giving you time to talk to God.
Have a bottle or a glass of water at your bedside to avoid the urge of eating.
Whatever you do keep you focus and avoid distractors/distraction in any form.
It's very easy to be distracted, but I speak loudly against the things that distract me and get back in gear again. I love your suggestions. It will truly help to make a difference for our worship time.
