I was sharing the previous thoughts with a friend of mine recently and she shared this story. She and her daughter went shopping together prior to Christmas. One commented, "Oh, what a pretty bag! Mine is wearing out." This bag ended up under the Christmas tree. The other commented on another item, that also ended up under the Christmas tree. How much more does God (our Heavenly Father) pay heed to our "little mentions" than a mother and daughter do to each others' "little mentions?!"
So, my challenge to you is this:
Instead of bemoaning and regretting the lost long uninterrupted times of persevering prayer, make faith-filled mention of your family to the Lord. I believe He will honor it.
