Pick Up the Phone

Loving God,

Today I feel a little out of touch. I still struggle with your instruction to "Pray without Ceasing." But even on those days when I feel tightly connected to you, I feel like I have become less connected with my family and friends. In the busyness of life, I haven't called enough, or written enough, or visited enough, or even prayed enough for them. Help me to see through the clutter of to-do lists and responsibilities, of meetings and activities, to build my connections with them, even as I am building my relationship with you.

Amen
