Intentions matter

Realizing that I need the quiet time with God that I've been neglecting this Christmas season - why do I always seem to follow up a great Advent or Lent with a letdown of my guard? - I began the day with a bit of prayer time in the dark.

At the end of my work day, I find myself far removed from my peaceful beginning.

But I must remember that time with the Lord is not primarily a means of making my life better.  It is primarily for its own sake, primarily because God is deserving of my attention and also because I am better off for it.
