For many years I felt that it was wrong to pray for myself. After talking to my minister, he told me I had been mislead and is okay to pray for yourself and God's guidance. It was rather freeing to be told that. I usually start a prayer with some sort of thank you. I guess I still feel a bit uncomfortable when I am praying for myself. Nice post! tag:laurapolk.com,2010-06-24:3252091 Katrina http://ksinift.wordpress.com 2010-06-24T23:49:55Z 2010-06-24T23:49:55Z I'm with you! My problem is that I think when I go through a rough patch, I just stick my head down and try to wait it out instead of realizing that God probably has something for me to learn in the midst of it and that I should be on my knees in prayer everyday asking for strength and guidance and just pouring out my heart to him. I too want to figure out what it means to have a real, devoted prayer life! With God's help, we can do it! :) Thanks for sharing! tag:laurapolk.com,2010-06-22:3243684 Melissa 2010-06-22T16:56:01Z 2010-06-22T16:56:01Z Yes, yes, yes and Amen.

Hmm. I would love to think I'd have been a high-roader. But I'm not so sure. :-( tag:laurapolk.com,2010-05-29:3157727 Laura Polk 2010-05-30T00:28:09Z 2010-05-30T00:28:09Z Imagine my surprise to find another Christian gal out there with my name!!! Really enjoying your blogs! I agree - we, in our human form, get caught up in the "prestige" that is presented... when our main purpose is to glorify HIM, not ourselves. It's the flesh that desires glory and it's so easy to get caught up in it. Another of Satan's tools to distract us from our purpose. Amen Sister! God Bless! tag:laurapolk.com,2010-05-24:3133506 Vonda Skelton http://www.VondaSkelton.com 2010-05-24T20:34:48Z 2010-05-24T20:34:48Z Amen, sister! tag:laurapolk.com,2010-05-17:3104070 Nicole Unice http://www.thestubbornservant.com 2010-05-17T17:08:49Z 2010-05-17T17:08:49Z I'm a huge fan of food evangelism. :) tag:laurapolk.com,2010-05-16:3101165 Nicole Unice http://www.thestubbornservant.com 2010-05-16T22:33:24Z 2010-05-16T22:33:24Z I'm so glad you are back to posting!
