Yesterday morning I woke up in a funk. There are probably a myriad of reasons why. So I slept in a little and then did my usual thing, I took the puppy and went for a walk in a little bush reserve near my house. I walk around a loop – normally I do about three laps and pray, and the dog chases rabbits. It works for both of us!
Today I just kept doing another lap – I had to keep going because I needed to keep praying
I had to pray until …
I stopped complaining
I got my eyes off myself
I realised I was being an idiot
I remembered how big God is
I started to be grateful for all I have
I wish I could tell you that then I interceded for the nations and went through my whole prayer list. I didn’t – I just needed to get with God to allow him to shift my attitude. I know we need to pray and intercede but some times we just need to be real with God about where we are.
Some days are just like that- and as a person with responsibility for others I have to be able to pray until. I don’t have the luxury of taking my funk into College. For those of us in any type of leadership this is leadership 101- don’t dump your stress/ concerns/funk on the team.
As I walked the Holy Spirit came along side and gently reminded me of who God is and therefore who I am.
Most days are not like that, I am naturally pretty buoyant – but yesterday was like that – and I am so glad I have been taught to pray until ….
