Not Bad

I listened to the Book of Mormon in the morning for 3 days plus a bit on the 4th day. I got a bit overwhelmed with people talking on Thursday. I prayed about it, and really felt that I needed to stop listening to books and podcast for the rest of the day. It felt like I really needed to listen to music. That was what I did after only 2 hours of listening to the Book of Mormon that day. I felt better fairly quickly and resolved to listen to it the next day, and I forgot. I don't even know how I could forget something like that. I guess just getting out of the habit one day made a bigger difference than I though it would.
The prayers have been going fairly well. The names of people to pay for seem to be coming to me easier. I did fall asleep before I prayed one or two nights, but I have been finding myself praying at random times in my head more. I figure that is a win.
This week I only work 3 days, so I can't make my goals center around that. I will listen to the Book of Mormon at work those 3 days. For my prayers, I will have at least 2 prayers that are only for thanking my Heavenly Father this week. I will, also, continue to pray for someone outside my home at least once each day. I am not going to put the constraint on myself that it has to be someone different each day, though. What if I really feel that someone needs the prayers? Am I supposed to stop praying for them? I think not. If I feel more than one person needs it, I will pray for more than one, too.

  1. I find my days go so much better when I pray in my head all throughout the day. Better than when I say formal prayers on my knees. Good for you!
