“Devote yourselves to prayer with an alert mind and a thankful heart.” Colossians 4:2 NLT

I find such joy in Famous because he directs my thoughts to God. I am sure this is God’s intent for all such blessings. Famous has the habit of going to bed with me, but he is hampered by the height of the bed. So as I am about to turn off the light and turn in, I find him beside the bed with his front paws on top of the mattress as if he is saying his prayers. I know he is merely waiting for me to do my part to lift him up. Yet, in this simple gesture he reminds me to pray to my Father who waits to lift me up from the weight of the world.

Prayer should be a continuous conversation with God, a discipline which always reunites us with the Creator.

Enable me to turn to You, God, in prayer throughout the day with eagerness and thanksgiving.
