When I said, "My foot is slipping," Your unfailing love, Lord, supported me. Psalm 94:18 NIV Bible.
I was thinking about how I was slipping back into old patterns of eating more of snack than I know I'm supposed to. Then, the Lord God had it on my heart, that I wasn't only slip-sliding back into old eating patterns, but I generally is related to when I'm getting more lax with my faith and my prayers.
Sure, I still pray and read the Bible daily, but sometimes I find I'm rushing through the prayers, on auto-pilot, or I'm not really focused on what I'm praying. It's bad enough to think that at times, I slip-slide with my eating, but it horrifies me that I'm a Slip-Sliding Christian. as well.
I've been trying to be prayerful about ways to be more in the moment with my Lord, when I pray or read the Bible. One thing I've identified is to do both of these when I'm not rushed to do something else, and when I'm not overly tired. I like to read the Bible before I go to bed, but I find myself dosing off, or just not focused and I end up reading the same passage over and over again, because I'm not totally sure what I had just read. I'm trying to read the Bible a little earlier, but it's a work in progress. Fortunately, the Lord is there to support me, when I start slip-sliding again!
