Struggling
As per usual, I have been struggling to pray as the semester gets into full swing. Prayers that I can motivate myself to pray without feeling like it's a chore!

Goals
I've been thinking a lot lately about the goals of this blog and what I'm trying to accomplish through it.
More than anything else, I want to encourage others to pray. Not necessarily about environmental issues, although those are important, but just about whatever you're passionate about. There is always need for more prayer. I know that through this personal challenge I've been praying more, not just for the environment but also for people I know, countries, churches, causes, and people I don't know. Prayer has become a big part of my life, and I love it. I pray that you, who visit this blog, will try out prayer for yourself and allow God to transform you.
Blessings on your new year!

Prayer Block
I really haven't felt much like praying lately--or perhaps I should say that I want to pray except when I sit down to actually do it. I pray that God will give me the patience and perseverance to keep praying even when I don't want to, and that He will hear my prayers even if they are not asked for with my whole heart.

New Year!
It's been a while since I've posted here. I have been reflecting a lot on prayer and its power and where I want and God wants me to go with this blog and the challenge that inspired it.
I just read This Present Darkness by Frank E. Peretti, a book about spiritual warfare. Prayer is depicted as just so incredibly powerful in this book, as something that really can affect change. It really inspired me to pray a lot more, and hopefully I'll be able to continue to remind myself about the power and importance of prayer.
Secondly, I've decided to extend my challenge, and aim to finish praying for endangered species by the end of this year, so by December 31, 2013. I can't believe that it's already 2013!
I hope everyone has a wonderful new year!
