Pray about everything!

 Pray about everything!

I encourage you to pray about EVERYTHING! I'll give you a examples. 

After almost 10 years, I finally upgraded my cellphone. I am not joking, I silently prayed before I began the upgrade process on Sunday.  I was nervous enrolling my new phone in a security application used by my employer but the process went smoothly.  Whew!  With the exception of one app, my new phone is working seamlessly.

I recently shared with a friend that I pray before starting a long drive such as my commute back and forth to work.  There's so much construction around me that I take back roads because it's more straightforward.  The caveat is that deer roam the fields along those back roads.  I say "Jesus take the wheel and protect me on this drive." 

Recently, I've prayed a lot about my cat Patty.  You probably think I've lost my mind praying about my cat especially one that is in good health.  The issue has been her behavior.  She started acting out when I re-committed to going into the Columbus office like I'm supposed to on a more regular basis.  However, jumping on the kitchen island when Jon is getting a bowl of cereal has turned into jumping on the kitchen island whenever someone is standing at it.  We scold her and remove her from the counter, island, kitchen table when she jumps there. I've prayed for God's will to be done with regard to Patty's undesirable behavior.  

Finally, during my prayer time each morning, I pray for God to be with me through out my day whether it is a work day or a weekend day.  I ask him to guide me if I have a potentially challenging meeting that day.  My husband has had some project challenges in his work and I prayed for God to be with him as he works through them.  God wants to hear from you. He wants you to ask for his help rather than suffer or struggle on your own.
