Spiritual Goals for 2009

I've been challenged and have some spiritual goals for this new year. They can be summed up by the following passages:

Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

with a specific focus on praying continually, and

But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Matthew 6:32-34

(In my next article I will talk about some of the practical things I am going to do in this regard.)

I believe that if I get these two things right then a lot of the things that I lost sleep over last year will fall back into their proper place and I can get on with actually doing something useful for God.

If you are reading this, I would ask you to please take a moment for pray for me in these goals, and please post a comment; let me know what spiritual goals you have at the moment because I would love to pray for you.
