Prayer of a Slug

Clean Heart

And we desire each one of you to show the same earnestness to have the full assurance of hope until the end, so that you may not be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
Hebrews 6:11-12

As if the word "sluggish" was highlighted in my bible, it jumped off the page when I read this the other morning. Lately this is how I have been feeling. Work, life, kids, time zone changes, early mornings and late nights & 14 hour flights... whatever the excuse, my sluggishness has a price. So I just stop here to pray.

Lord, lately I have been feeling sluggish. Please by the power of your Holy Spirit, cause me to have such a deep and sincere love for you that nothing can get in the way. Cause me to value our relationship so much that it is a joy to find time with you no matter where I am. Please help me to seek you even when my flesh and my heart fail. Please be the strength of my heart and the portion that I choose when I feel sluggish. Lord I pray that my children and the people around me would see that I am diligent to seek you when I am well rested and when I am tired.
