automatically activated

God has been transforming me through the discipline of the bell prayer. The impact that hourly reminder makes on me is amazing.

However, I have also experienced failures along the way. Just now I realize I’ve spent half the day sitting at my computer with no thought of God. What happened to my hourly reminder? I leave my phone on my desk for a moment to run upstairs, and during that time the alarm goes off without my knowing it. If one alarm is not acknowledged then all the following alarms are never activated. So I miss four reminders in a row.

Lord, I wish thoughts of You were automatically activated by some inner alarm deep in my soul. I wish I had God-centered dialogue all day long. But it seems I am still in need of a vibrating cell phone to bring me back to You.

Hey, for now, if thats what it takes, then that's what I'll do.

Although it seems an insignifcant little phrase do you realize the implications of that phrase. What if I (we, you, etc.....) lived that way when it comes to chasing God. "If that's what it takes...." God, let me be like THAT.
