Heavenly Father, I'm confronted with really interesting ideas today. There are a million ideas about You just floating around in my head. I've been struggling to figure out what to write about now that my forty days of silence and study ended this weekend. I haven't even been back to consult with You. Now I'm already two days into my next forty, and I still don't know what the focus is.
Actually I do. As I sit here and think, pray, meditate on You and Your will, I think You've revealed to me that my next forty days need to be forty days of focus. Forty days of prayerful meditation on Your will. That's the focus.
Forty Days of Focus. I kind of like that idea, but it's daunting. It's daunting because it will require even more of my time won't it? Because, I won't be able to sit down and just write and read. I'll have to take time to pray, to confess, to listen, to honestly be quiet in spirit before You.
But let's start right now. Instead of a long blog entry this morning, how about a long, prayerful walk. Help me to focus Lord. Amen.

Did your prayer walk reveal and confirm what you already know? 40 days of focus? Is it a specific focus? On a certain attribute of God?
Yea, I think there is a specific focus. It's God's will, hearing it and then acting it out. I don't necessarily think that I will hear grand overarching, lifetime goals and such (though that would be great)...instead, I think it will be a process of seeing chances to enact God's will in my regular, day to day life and then focusing on doing that. I think...I'm still getting used to this hearing God thing.
you said "I think it will be a process of seeing chances to enact God's will in my regular, day to day life" just like a walk around the block, daily life, lived on the pathway laid out by God.
