Devotion:
Streams in the Desert
Then Jesus told his disciples... that they should always pray and not give up. (Luke 18:1)
"Observe the ant," the great Oriental conqueror Tamerlane told his friends. In relating a story from his early life, he said, "I once was forved to take shelter from my enemies in a dilapidated building, where I sat alone for many hours. Wishing to divert my mind from my hopless situation, I fixed my eyes on an ant carrying a kernel of corn larger than itself up a high wall. I counted its attempts to accomplish this feat. The corn fell sixty nine to the ground, but the insect persevered. The seventieth time it reached the top. The ants accomplishment gave me courage for the moment, and I never forgot the lesson." (The Kings Business)
Prayer that uses previously unanswered prayers as an excuse for laziness has already ceased to be a prayer of faith. To someone who prays in faith, unanswered prayers are simply the evidence that the answer is much closer. From beginning to end, our Lord's lessons and examples teach us that prayer that is not steadfast and persistent, nor revived and refreshed, and does not gather strength from previous prayers is not the prayer that will triumph.
"If I neglect practicing one day, I notice; two days, my friends notice; three days, the public notices."
(Arthur Rubinstein, famed pianist)
"I resolved never to stop until I had come to the goal and achieved my purpose"
(David Livingstone)

- Originally had 5 rounds in the WC portion. This was simply an aweful day. Lack of sleep and a poor diet today killed me. I did not drink enough water throughout the day and then ate a high dairy meal before the workout. I need to get more disciplined on my food intake as it drastically affects my performance. I was originally very excited for this workout but as soon as it started I just died. I have not had a day like this since my introduction into Sealfit 8 months ago. Frusterating and angry that I quit early. I will start recording my food intake from now on.
