But one of the things I've been pondering lately is praying fervently over one thing for a length of time. It's not that I can't think of more to pray for, but I feel the need to dedicate my time to one specific thing for a period of time.
Seeing her post made me think that July is a good time to do just that.
It also reminded me of a meme I've seen circulating that says, "It's hard to hear God's voice when you've already decided what you want Him to say."
Truth.
Praying means keeping my heart open to whatever God has for me, even if it's not the same as what I want for myself.
I already know my one thing I'm going to pray, but I have no idea how God might mold, shape, and change that prayer in a month's time. I have no idea how He might mold, shape, and change me in that time.
My prayer plan may not be as grand or long as what Beth is calling for, but it is what I know God is drawing me to for the month, and that is what matters most.
Think about it today, will you? Maybe this isn't what you're convicted to do at all for the month of July, but maybe...just maybe...it is.
My thoughts are short today, but I hope you'll think about it and follow whatever God prompts!

I know prayer is very personal but I look forward to hear how your conversation with God goes this month, especially how a month long devotion to praying about one thing changes your side of the conversation.
I love how devoted you are to prayer!
My pastor always reminds us that prayer isn't to bend God to our will, but to bend our hearts/will to God. He says it better than that paraphrase though! I pray every night at 8 pm for my families salvation, although it has morphed into praying for that and then whatever God puts on my heart. The other night I was praying for you and Rybear.
