Today I listened to a video devotional series done by Mike Donehey of the band Tenth Avenue North. The series is on The Lord’s Prayer and K-Love has been talking about it all week. I am so glad they have continued to encourage me to go and check it out because it provided a much needed spirtual boost for me today and also brought back a really wonderful memory of my Dad.
When I was growing up and would tell my Dad that I had trouble sleeping, he would suggest I try saying The Lord’s Prayer slowly, thinking about what each part meant as I closed my eyes in bed. He told me that the prayer is so deep and meaningful and that falling asleep thinking about it will bring peace and comfort. I am not sure if my Dad suggested this activity because he himself did it (my guess is he did) but it worked so very well! I would rarely make it to the end before I was fast asleep – and what a wonderful activity to be engaged in as my mind drifted off and my body surrendered to it’s need for rest. I intend to pick back up on this practice tonight!
