Think of the ways in which the enemy stops us from praying. Is it distractions?, Social Media? Internet? ,Tv?, waking up late? other responsibilities?, Or just laziness?…There will always be distractions that try to stop us from praying. That is the enemy’s goal! He wants us to be as far away from God as he can get us to be. He knows that if we have a relationship with God this will weaken his influence in our lives and because he fears those who are close to God, he will try as hard as he can to stop us from building a relationship with God or even just talking to him, period.
If we are able to recognize the ways and tools which the enemy uses to create this separation from us and God, then we must fight against it with a stronger desire to push away the opposition and to do ALL THAT IS IN OUR POWER TO COMMUNICATE WITH GOD OUR FATHER. This will bring strength and peace into our lives and a stronger desire to come closer to God daily. 
2 Nephi 32:8-9, Says;
And now, my beloved brethren, I perceive that ye ponder still in your hearts; and it grieveth me that I must speak concerning this thing. For if ye would hearken unto the Spirit which teacheth a man to pray, ye would know that ye must pray; for the evil spirit teacheth not a man to pray, but teacheth him that he must not pray.
But behold, I say unto you that ye must pray always, and not faint; that ye must not perform any thing unto the Lord save in the first place ye shall pray unto the Father in the name of Christ, that he will consecrate thy performance unto thee, that thy performance may be for the welfare of thy soul.
By giving in to the spirit of God which teaches us to pray and to stay close to God. We will notice how different our days will be if we start our day with a prayer. Having that quiet time of communication and mediation with God will allow us to be better able to deal with the stress and different situations that may arise during our day. We will feel differently just by knowing that we started our day with a prayer and we will be able to acknowledge more clearly the hand of God in our lives to protect us, inspire us and take care of us during our day. Our Father in Heaven isn’t just there for when we NEED him! 🙁 I’m know that He loves to hear from us every day! During the good times or the bad times. That we may ask Him to consecrate our performances and everything that we do, from cleaning our house to working or doing all of our activities…That He will allow those things to be for our welfare, for the benefit of our soul, and that all our activities may all be dedicated to Him! 
Our spiritual goal for the week is to recognize the things or oppositions that are getting in our way from allowing us to talk to our Heavenly Father. To push away the opposition and to make the changes to put God first in our lives. The goal is to pray each morning and to have a prayer in heart during the day as we dedicate our activities to Him and for the benefit of our souls. If you have an experience that teaches you something from this week, I would love to hear it!!! 
Our physical goal for the week is To take it easy with the Candy! lol 😉 It’s tempting to have so much!…So, our goal is to have good self control this week. Replace the sugar with a fruit or raisins or anything that’s a healthier choice.:) We’ll be proud of our willpower! 
Tonight at 7 we’re gonna burn calories, tone and mediate to leave us feeling not only physically strong but also emotionally and mentally ready for the rest of our week. I hope you guys can make it and be able to push alway the opposition that gets in the way for us to be able to do something amazing for body, mind and spirit. 
Hope to see you there! 🙂 Have a blessed and wonderful day and I want you guys to know that I love you and that I pray for you always! I’m so thankful to have each and every one of you in my life. & Thank you so much for reading these little weekly messages! Hope we can keep them in our hearts and try to do better each week 🙂
