After a Rough Day

After a rough day it can be hard for me to think. I have a house full of kids and job that can be quite hectic and music that bombards my mind that begs to be written and recorded. Most of important of all I am a Christian. This does not mean that I am perfect. This means that I am flawed and that I follow a discipline of Jesus Christ to live my life. Jesus is my hero his teachings I find are wonderful. I do believe that he is the son of God. I have take the Lord Jesus Christ as my savior, and when I fall on my face being stupid and having sin, I get on my knees and ask for forgiveness.

But I have gotten off subject.

On tough days it can be hard to decide what to pray about. The days where so many things hit me at once that I don't know what to say. In these moments I recite the Lord's Prayer. It is simple and to the point and going through it slowly really helps to put so much into perspective. There are a few different variations but in all its forms it really boils things down.

It reminds me that there is a Lord in heaven and that he is most important. That I look forward to the day and times his way are preformed on the earth. That I should not be afraid to ask for things for he wishes to provide though I may not understand his timing. That I should ask forgiveness for my shortcomings and that I should forgive those that wrong me in the same manner for I make mistakes as well. I am reminded that there is evil in the world and that I need protection from it. From there other things may come to mind so I will put those words to air as well.

God already knows what I need and how I feel but he wants me to acknowledge it as well. Just like I know that my children need me and love me but I like them to say it out loud to me the same.

Luke 11: 1 - 4
1	He was praying in a certain place, and when he ceased, one of his disciples said to him, "Lord, teach us to pray, as John taught his disciples."
2	And he said to them, "When you pray, say: "Father, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come.
3	Give us each day our daily bread;
4	and forgive us our sins, for we ourselves forgive every one who is indebted to us; and lead us not into temptation."
