You have probably heard this before

In the last few weeks I have purposefully changed some patterns in my life.

Not really because I had to, but because I wanted some change.
I wanted things to be a bit different. 
To actually feel different. 
To be better.

What I have continued to need to learn it seems, is sometimes the pattern of life that we fall into for seasons ,doesn't always work well forever. 

The hint is that the pattern was only meant to last potentially for a season.

I forget that.

My pattern of Bible Reading and Prayer hasn't changed much over the last few years until now.

Recently I decided I needed change because upon some honest reflection, I was concerned it wasn't working as well as it could be. 

Yes that is a broad phrase. But it covers that sense I had that it was not working, maybe stale, and continuing seemed silly when I had the power to change things up.

It for me has become a going back to go forward on many levels.

My new pattern is a regular set routine straight after getting up of first reading from a Bible Reading Plan then going through a Guided Prayer Time which of course includes my most important Prayer Requests.

I add a little music bed under it all.

I really do feel different. 

And it not because I have some self importance from being disciplined. 

It is does seem to set me up different the day.

It is also better than turning to news sources to see what I should be concerned about...

Why am I sharing all this?

Maybe if you are honest you feel a bit like me?

That the pattern of your current season isn't producing in and through you all that you hoped?

That maybe you aren't doing "what you did at first"?

Change it.

Plan to change things and just start.

As they say "you have nothing to lose and everything to gain".

Something to think about and actually do...
