Prayer point.
In one of our increasingly typical superspeed 3 minute catchups about everything in our lives in the past month, I quickly jotted down my friend's prayer points (as we always do).Her prayer point for herself was to have 'deep love for God'. I didn't really give that a second thought as I gave her a quick hug and ran off to another church meeting.
Since then I've been thinking more about this prayer point. Most often people pray for stuff like exams, sickness, strength, endurance, patience, love for others. We just assume that love for God is well, assumed knowledge, assumed to be ever-present, ever-strong.
My friend is one of the most godly people I know. I look up to her so much. When I first read back on the prayer point I thought it was kinda weird... like, as if she doesn't have love for God. But I guess that only reflected my lack of pondering on my own relationship with God, being too caught up in praying for ancillary things like all the things I mentioned above. In getting caught up with all the other things I never considered praying for and having deep concern for my love for God. Oh gosh I'm so ashamed to be even typing this.
Praying for the most important thing in my life. It makes so much sense that I can't believe I never did it before.
[P.S. Apologies for my erratic-ness of late. On a cheerier note I found both my rubber and my cardio notes. =)]
