A Commonplace Book - Weekend Edition

It is so hard for me to remember to pray daily. As a writer, you have such an unstructured life, or at least mine is, so sometimes I stay up all night working, or I get up early and forget. But when I pray, I always try to say, "Please let me do good work in your name." That's the most important thing. If my work is going to be self-serving, I really don't want to do it. The other thing I pray for is that God would reveal Himself to me.
