Sometimes as we face our own personal struggles it can get hard to stay alert and listen. It can be so much easier to skip our prayer that day, to give in to our temptations. It can be so hard to listen to what God is telling us, to be thankful for what we have. It can be tiring praying and expecting an instant answer but we have to keep faith. God is listening, He knows we are here and He knows we need His help.
