Short and sweet the #2 lesson of having a devotional life is to make the decision to keep going no matter what. If you fall short, get busy and miss a day or two- recommit and keep going. Do it joyfully and without feeling shame, fear, or rejection. Your Heavenly Father isn't thinking negative thoughts toward you if you miss out on a devotional!!
We pray, read the Bible, and worship him because we want more of him. The beautiful secret is that you WILL get more of him and your love and desire will increase for him the more you spend time with him.(man am I preaching to ME tonight)
Come to him in prayer honestly- he knows it all anyway so tell him if you sinned, ask him to help you and forgive you. Ask him questions you have. Ask him for help with life's issues and problems. Pay attention and you will notice the questions you asked and the requests you asked are being answered -often in very natural ways. (sometimes I wish God would answer with a flashing sword but he usually uses very normal ways to answer our prayers)
Lesson 2 - Believe and keep going, trusting in his plan and his love.
