Fighting in prayer
Vas: Well I’m on my bed trying not to let the thoughts of all the things I need to get done disturb what is supposed to be my day off. I actually had a fever for half the day and most of the night so I was forced to rest and now I am feeling a lot better, but it’s hard to push all of the thoughts out of my head of all there is to do to continue down the road of making this home a good home, as well as build a well-rounded missionary work. I was listening to Meditation Moments today and one part I related to was where Mother Berg said that she had felt at times confused and not sure what exactly to do, yet felt like she needed to start doing something to fix or make progress where much work was needed. And I have to say I felt like that a bit today knowing that there is a lot to do. But… number one I was sick, and so couldn’t do much, and number two I don’t really know where to start as the kind of things that need to be done don’t get accomplished in a day. Mrs. Berg in the Meditation Moments said that rather then trying to work frantically at accomplishing something, it’s better to give more importance to prayer and accomplishing much more by prayer. My prayer life is not as strong as it should be and the Lord showed me to take something or someone specific and really fight in prayer for them and see the progress in order to strengthen this area of my life. For once in my life I am going to create a habit of diligent expectant prayer.
