Have you?

So I recently came across this question that has pretty much put me on the spot and gave me a little kicker.
Have you prayed about it as much as you've talked about it?
And... I haven't. Not even enough to qualify it as more than a prayer about it maybe once or twice a week. I am so guilty of this.
I've been falling back on my readings in the Bible, and I just haven't been putting God first as much as I should. AND! I definitely haven't been praying as much as I should be.
Guilty guilty guilty.
I read in my devotion book (that I also haven't been reading as much as I should >_>), that prayer is the strongest connection you could have to God. It's the thing that builds your bond. How can you get closer to someone if you never talk to them? I tried to make it my goal in that week to really work on that. I totally failed at that. Procrastination came and I welcomed it in with open arms. Now I'm stuck in this never ending circle where I can never get anything done.
I have so many excuses lined up to defend myself as to why I haven't been doing all of this and it's clear to me that the only thing I'm good at is making up excuses.
There are so many things that I want to pray for... and I would really like the people around me to pray for them as well. SO! However (if any) is reading this, here is a list of things that I would like to have prayed for... which i should pray for myself as well.

- The salvation of my family and friends
- Direction in my life and motivation

YUP! That's the giant list.

That's all I wanted to share today, good night!
