Prayer Crutch

I wish I was more spiritually disciplined. No godly-abs-of-steel over here, hate to say it. I've gone through times of intense prayer, and even fasting for one or another of my boys when a crunch is on, but I am secretly shamed when I hear Better Moms talk about wearing out their knees in daily prayer for their children. (sigh - a big one - puff your bangs strongly upward at least once - make it a long one if you empathize with me) So I've had to build myself some crutches. Best crutch yet - this prayer picture. When I fold laundry, I'm usually at the top of the stairs where this photo rests in a windowsill. While I'm down on my knees up there, no admiration - there's no place to sit, I use this photo as a prayer prompt. My Dear Sons look so sweet in this photo that it seems to help me forget what they may have done more recently and focus on prayer for their hearts, for their desires, for their tendencies, for their future and present work...and so on until the towels are all folded! 

I'm working on placing more prayer crutches around the house where chore work is focused, since I seem to be somewhat focused on chores. 

Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful. Colossians 4:2
