Prayer isn't dropping out of life, it is dropping into God's presence.

Dropping into God's presence through prayer helps me gain a better, stronger view of my life.   Remember the thank you's.   For everything.
Joy is the whole attitude of thank-you.  

"I am revealing so much to you.   Pass it on.   Each truth is a jewel.  Some friend will be glad for it.   Seek to find a heart home for each truth I have given you.  You will receive more."   This is the riches we seek!   And it equips us to help others. 

Lord I am sorry for the things I do that cause people to doubt Your presence.   "The humble He guides in justice, and the humble He teaches His way."  Psalm 25:9   

We need to listen when being warned rather than get defensive and shut down.   At Pearl Harbor, radar indicated that planes were on the way, but it was ignored.   We need to guide each other constructively.   We need to listen to the warnings so that we don't have a personal Pearl Harbor.

One of the greatest steps in discovering who we are - humility - is discovering who God is.   "Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you.   Who we are in ourselves is not enough, but who we are in God is everything.
