Praying HandsRule 4:  PROCESS IS IMPORTANT.  What I said in a previous blog about process not being the point doesn’t mean it’s not important.  I’ve never seen anyone be good at anything that woke up every day and started all over again.  You can usually spot the people who have decided on Saturday whether they are going to church or not.  They aren’t that glad to be here.  You need to have commitments in your Christian life. Your performance may or may not be completely consistent, but it will be far more consistent if you are committed to consistency than if you have the attitude, “Since 100 percent consistency is impossible, there’s no point in trying.”  You need to have decided, “This I will do.”  In other words, commit to getting up every day and spending time with God.  However you decide to do this, commit to the process and, as we will see in the next rule, make as much of a commitment to varying the process as you do to having one.  Otherwise, you’ll get stuck in a rut.  But it is important for you to have a process, even if it’s going to change sometime.
