~To Do List ~ 1. Pray!!

I was on Facebook this morning and seen this status update, "Prayed-Much accomplished today".
I kinda felt a little "nudge", you know what I am talking about if you have a relationship with God, that little convicting thing you feel. Sometimes, a pause, sometimes a pricking of your conscience, a whisper to your heart... one of those ;)
Do you know how many days I think," I need to pray today, I can't forget today...but FIRST....I need to get this done or that done, or I should clean the house or wait till Ethan is asleep"...on and on. It's like I need to complete my "To do list", before I can pray, when really if all I get done today is pray, nothing else matters. Sometimes, I treat prayer as a luxury or like one of my "hobbies", if I finish all my chores then I can reward myself. It's not that at all, prayer is a necessity, it's a need. I need to feel that God hears me, I need to know that no matter what happens in this world, I am still His child, I need to know if I died right now His face would be the next face I see....Sometimes, I "To Do List" myself right into bed at night without ever stopping to pray.....My prayer today would be, "God forgive me for the times, I push you away because I am busy, for the times I keep my mind busy trying to avoid thinking of the trials of Life,  help me to not just know in my head that your all that matters but to live it in my daily walk, to show You that, YOUR all that matters....."
When all is said and done, the house won't fall around me, the laundry won't get up and run away...unfortunately... the dishes aren't going to call me names....and nobody is out there holding their breath for this blog or my Facebook status update! ;)
