Making Time to Pray. I LOVE Talking to God!

I always find myself feeling guilty about praying either because I feel selfish or because I haven't prayed in a while.
Lately, I have been feeling that I don't even deserve to pray, to even ask God for his blessings, or sometimes I find myself forgetting to pray or "not having enough time".
However, ironically every single time I pray, I feel absolutely wonderful afterwards. I feel like a burden has been lifted off my shoulder and that someone is listening and doing good for me. Haha...Isn't that how it is suppose to be anyways? So what is wrong with me?

So the reason for this blog is not to complain or talk about my guilty feelings, but that I just had a REVELATION, an EPIPHANY!! Why am I feeling bad about praying? That is not what praying is about... the reality and the truth is that I love to Pray!!
I LOVE to Pray!! I am now going to make more time to pray, even if it is only a minute. No more falling asleep right away. ;0)
I always take the time to thank God for every little thing that happens in my life, and I always ask for blessings for those who need it, but now I will pray for me.
And it is not just asking God for his guidance, but just having a conversation with God. I use to do this all the time, but times have changed and I am moving forward in my life...but that doesn't mean I have to leave my faith behind.
No more guilt, just talk...it feels good. Literally Letting Go, and Letting God.
I Love Talking to God!! He is one of my Best Friends!
