We recently went to a wedding. I usually cry at weddings, as they are soooo beautiful! Unfortunately, crying causes my nose to fill up with so much mucus, that at my own wedding, when they told us: "you may now kiss the bride." I responded with "nooooooooo!." My husband jokes to this day that we never got married because I wouldn't kiss him. Anyways, I didn't have any Kleenex, so I intentionally worked hard to not cry; it wasn't easy, but I did it.
Then, at the reception, most people got up and danced on the dance floor. I had to intentionally refrain because I knew that in my effort to prove I'm not too old to "work my groove", I might injure my back, knees or feet.
I felt The Lord told me afterwards, to be intentional in my prayers. When I enter an arena where I know the enemy is active in peoples lives, I need to intentionally guard my heart through prayer. It requires paying attention to my surroundings, being a Watchman on the wall. I am not to be ignorant of the enemies schemes. I need to always be prepared.
