This year is moving at a very fast pace and so much has already happened.  It seems like it just started and we just got through with the 2007 Holiday Season.  Here we are half way through November and I know with Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years in the days ahead it will just be a blink of the eye before we bid this year goodbye.

It is important that during these times as all times we slow down and enjoy the moment and give thanks to God.  I know that for many out there times are tough as it may be financial or other concerns and that is more the reason why we should be praying for spiritual guidance not only for ourselves but for those around us.  The Bible tell us in the first book of Thessalonians chapter 5 versus 17-18 

Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you

 Another verse that I will throw in is found in the second book of Timothy chapter 1 in verse 3

 I thank God, whom I serve from my forefathers with pure conscience, that without ceasing I have remembrance of thee in my prayers night and day

God stresses in his holy word to us that praying is the most critical communication we have between us and him.  We are to pray continually as we interact with the Kingdom of God.
Even in things we lack knowledge of in our walk in this live we are able to seek his wisdom as found in the Book of James chapter 1 in verse 5
If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him
We should continually be going to the Lord in Prayer to maintain the strength we need to live to glorify him.  That combined with nourishment from the Word of God gives us the faith to maintain ourselves in our Christian Lives.  If you are our of the habit or it has been a long time seek the Lord today through prayer and lay out your burdens to him and ask that he through the Holy Spirit gives you the strength and wisdom you need.
