morning thought

I need to start each day with prayer. I jump up and start my tasks, but always think. Before I even turned a light on I really ought to have said a prayer. Then on my daily list, I see morning prayer of gratitude, should have been done before anything else. I was answering a Journaling prompt that asked what I was proud of, and my first thought was I am proud of my ability not to need all the things that Facebook or people in general try to tempt me with. This morning, it was a free app created by all of the best thinkers in the world... my first thought was, " might work, but definitely prayer would and that sounds like a 'great and spacious building'. " I was so pleased that another stumbling block had been averted. Makes me think of David and Goliath actually. I am a tiny bit like David in that I can turn down temptations flatly because I know that God of Jacob is mightier and knows exactly what I need and can help me far better than any ivy league app can. After thinking about that I feel even more strongly that I really should have prayed first thing. Sure, He can help, but I need to ask if He will.... perfect segue, Book of Mormon time.... if you ask, you will receive!
