Commitment

Lately I've been making some observations on my own commitment to prayer and spending time with God. 

I find when I workout and run, I make the most progress when I stick to a schedule, usually it's 5 evenings a week. I know that's obvious, but there's something that happens when I skip a day: it's suddenly so much easier to miss this next day. Maybe the day after that one I won't feel so terrible about missing it. Next thing I know, I haven't gone for a week. 

I've deffinitely been finding that I have a similar experience if I don't get with God on a regular basis, it just stops being a priority. Even though some people may think that having a routine for something that they think should be "spontaneous" and "spiritual" isn't neccesary, I disagree. We're called to honor God with our time, and for me to do that, I know that I have to dedicate time every day, or I just won't do it.
