There isn't much on TV to watch anymore, but my wife and I like to watch Wheel of Fortune. Usually we can solve the puzzles before the contestants do. Sometimes contestants get down to only one missing letter and still don't solve the puzzle correctly. Here's one for you with only one letter missing. LIFE IS SHORT P_AY HARD. What was your answer? This question appeared in a devotional I read and certainly shows our mindset.
Was your answer "Life Is Short Play Hard" or "Life Is Short Pray Hard"? Our mindset in life makes all the difference. I have been around people with both mentalities. Those who pray hard are excited about what God is doing and how God is leading in their lives. Those who play hard without a focus on prayer are usually preoccupied with things that are short-lived and don't have much if any time for God.
While we don't need to be verbally praying all the time, we do need do be in a spirit of prayer all the time. As a result our minds will be focused on what God would want or do in each situation. We will have his peace even when the storms of life come upon us and that peace will flow from us to those around us. Our fortunes are not centered in the good life but in our good God. He makes the difference for now and eternity.
