Psalms 5:2-3 NIV [2] Hear my cry for help, my King and my God, for to you I pray. [3] In the morning, Lord, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait expectantly.
I woke up this morning and went into prayer that ended up with this kind of feeling. A prayer for help with getting important things in my life back on track. My prayer time with Him. My ability to hear Him. My health, eating right and exercising. My ability to be a good wife. One who would encourage and not criticize. I need to be more helpful, patient and understanding. I want to be a better mother and friend. When I read this, I immediately thought of the heart of my prayer this morning. Then I started listening to Stephen Arterburn's (from New Life Live) podcast Going Deeper from episode 1. I started listening over the weekend, but I was listening to the most recent and today I went back to the beginning. The first episode starts a series on "Lose it for Life" which is the title of a book and workbook that he wrote that I have known about for years. It is all about how to lose weight and keep it off. So, there is the help for my getting back on track for my health. Here is a link for his podcast. If you want to hear the Lose it for Life series, go to the first episode and work your way through.
I have always loved Stephen. New Life Live was one of my favorite radio programs and I learned so much from them. It is a call in Christian counseling program. New Live Radio broadcast I found it online and went back to one of the early broadcasts from 2011 and it happens to be about personal growth. The very first thing they start talking about is the book "How We Love our Kids" which is the parent version of the book "How We Love" that Dave and I have read and studied pretty extensively but no longer practice what we learned for our marriage. So that directs me back to what I know works for marriage and parenting. Below is that broadcast.
Now my prayer is to help me to take what I know and put it into practice through reliance on Jesus to do that.
