Day 36--Develop a prayer routine

So the challenge for yesterday was to develop a prayer routine that works for me. Daily, habitual, specific and focused reading time that will help provide some focus for my life. I do believe the the bible is a living book, more than just words on a page it can literally speak into your life with words of affirmation or rebuke. I've realized through this process of "love daring" that those dares that have involved prayer have been very powerful. One of my main struggles through the years as a Christian has been steady Bible reading. I will go periods of time in the word, but then allow myself to wonder away from this time. I've also had the happen in my accoutability partnerships, with my children, and with my Sunday School teaching opportunities. What I liked about yesterday reading is that it focused on the idea of submission. Total submission to really look at what God's word has to say about marriage, finances, love, child raising, ect... I don't have to go it alone. What I'd like to see is a Chad that loves to get up in the morning and spend time reading the Word, then takes that reading and moves it into the decisions/choices I make that day. I'm worthy of having an exceptional relationship with my creator and having a number 10 relationship with my wife. I will commit to planning a time weekly that Kendra and I can focus on reading the Bible together and then briefly discussing how it relates to our lives. We have several formatted couples devotionals that I could use, but the biggest part is just moving forward into setting a time and place. I know that when we make this a daily routine for each of us, our marriage will blossom.
