One of my "summer plan for growth" goals was to read through, print, then pray every day, one of the prayers of Paul for the Ephesians and Colossians. (Remember, those are the parts we usually skip over quickly to get to the rest of the letters!)
It's been an amazing exercise. Along with time in the Word, and now praying some additional things for myself, my mind and heart have gotten re-focused, and for the most part, the days are filled with more awareness of what God wants to do in my life and I'm more willing to be available to let Him do it. Try it out for 90 days! Here's one of several:
9 For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you and asking God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all spiritual wisdom and understanding. 10 And we pray this in order that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and may please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, 11 being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, and joyfully 12giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in the kingdom of light. 13 For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, 14 in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. Colossians 1:9-14

Dean, great word. Please check your font sizes. This one came up about 6 pt type on IE7.
Will we, your sheep, get to hear what God is doing in your life? I hope so.
