Charles Ketttering said, “It is the ‘follow thought’ that makes the difference between ultimate success and failure, because it is so easy to stop.” We have a few examples of follow through today, both human and holy as well as the conclusion of Esther’s story.
Personal Update:
I spent part of my Saturday working on a quilt project for a friend. I finished a handful of blocks, but it was a struggle. I spent much of the work time unpicking and re-making. It was a reminder about why process is as or more important than product.
About Prayer
The way we teach and talk about prayer often puts it squarely in the “obligation” category. It becomes a to do list item to check off, something we develop elaborate systems or routines to maintain, or something to feel guilty about. Is prayer an obligation? Speaking to the ones we love happens naturally and so should talking to God. Sometimes we schedule important conversations, but that’s the exception rather than the rule. How does this apply to your prayer life.
