2007.09.26 @ 01:43:08 Prayer

I had one of those moments tonight, where I realized just how numerous the things were that I need to be lifting to God in prayer. It was almost as if it felt burdensome because there was so much. And I wouldn't want to forget anything, because its all important. And one of the key points of prayer is to lift our burdens, to take things to the Lord, and leave them there for him to work on, to take care of, to solve, to worry about. How appropriate it is that tomorrow is 'see you at the poll' day. So I sat down and played through 'what a friend we have in Jesus' while my thoughts wandered... and my first thought was, wow, its nice to be able to just sit down and play a song like that without any music, not perfectly, lots of mistakes, but, still, the song is there. And then I started to think of other blessings from the Lord, and the burdens start to seem not as big anymore. Not less important, but not as big... not as unmanageable, not as burdensome... and then my fingers started to become sore (i was playing earlier today too) so I stopped to write this entry. And that's where I'm at, so, I guess I'll stop... say my prayers, and go to sleep. G'nite.
