And He left them and went out of the city to Bethany, where He spent the night. Matthew 21:17 NIV Bible
Jesus Christ didn't just wait until there was an ideal moment to pray to God, He made the time. That's a significant lesson for me. I make all these plans like: I'll pray when I use the restroom. Sometimes I do, but I often find myself daydreaming about what I need to do, or need to make for dinner.
I found that when I go into my room and turn the lights out, that's my best way to pray, as long as I don't fall asleep. Have I done that in a while? No, and it saddens me, because that's the way I had special time with Christ when He first blessed me with the weight loss. He helped me identify what things were bothering that I ended up eating over. He showed me that I can't fix everything for everyone I care about, sometime even for myself. He was there through thick and thin, and do I find the time for Him?
No, not the way it really should be. Not in planned out, focused times of prayer. Not that it has to be at a certain time or place every day, but making my relationship with my Lord and Savior has to be a priority, not just when I want something or I'm afraid. Jesus Christ made me a priority, and you too, when He gave His life on the cross, died, was buried and rose again to save us from our sins. I need to be much better at making Him my priority, not just when I get around to it!!!
