Conclusion of the fourty day challenge

Fourty days ago I issued myself a challenge to pray for fourty straight days in order to achieve a better sense and understanding of God and Christ. Truth be told, there were a couple of days where I neglected to pray which didn't make my challenge a complete success, but I do feel there's quite a bit that has changed over that period.

Slowly, I think I can begin to understand what makes prayer so special. When its praying for others/myself or thanking God for what I have it allows to me to express that love and kindness for other when I may have trouble showing on my own. It acknowledges what I have and reminds me that there's a lot to be thankful for in this life, in both happiness and hardships.

There's definitely more to be said about the topic, and I'm not sure if there's a major point that I maybe be missing. I'm still trying to put it all together. A friend of mine recently left me with some encouraging words: "God doesn’t care where you are Spiritually. He just cares that you’re seeking Him and wanting to know Him more." So that being said, any thoughts you want to add on, by all means.
