Traditions

I’m glad  the Lord cares about me to give me inspirations! This one strengthened my faith in the Church. 

“Old Daniel of old, he was asked not to pray. To his God up in Heaven in his own usual way…

Usual…. What would’ve been the outcome of Daniel if he would be have prayed like sometimes I’m tempted to do. Or have done before.. “oh God just understand and allow this to pass this time…” “Just let me off easy..” I imagine myself in Daniel’s shoes sighing this prayer as I walk up the steps and pray near my window.. Maybe kneel underneath the window. Low enough to where I cannot be seen.. or Maybe I jus kneel beside my bed. Or don’t kneel at all during the 30 days? 

I don’t know how God would’ve looked at that.  I would’ve still prayed! Sure.!!

But I wouldn’t be giving God myself.. Sometimes I groan and sigh about some of “our” traditions.. and wonder can’t we be less traditional! Or I feel like we are just stuck in a rut.. but this gave me courage to embrace those. Maybe sometimes they need to change. Maybe sometimes we are stuck in a rut. Maybe we do need to think outside the box. I don’t mean to say we don’t. But I want to make sure to take an extra look and make sure that I’m still willing to let God have all of me.
