O GOD,
Time is so valuable, yet I often live as hough I have more than enough. I admit I waste far too much time doing things that aren't important. I let interruptions rule the day. I know I should be more purposeful about how I spend my time, but I'm often unsure how to do that. Help me to remember that you do not ask me to do everything--just everything you have called me to do. And you assure me that there is enough time for that. The more time I invest in discovering the purpose for which you created and in living out that purpose with obedience and responsibility, the more meaningful and significant my time on earth will be. O Lord, I commit to having you as my number one priority. I want to invest in you with the best of my time ad energy.
*** Teach us to realize the brevity of life, so that we may grow in wisdom. Psalm 90:12 ***
Its easy to waste time, its called procrastination or laziness. Often we get so sidetracked with weekly schedules that we loose track of our time and how we spend it. " Wow! Time has really flown by." " Where did the time go?" " I can't believe its so late already". There is also the opposite effect. When our day is so full of things and it seems like it will never end. We become worn down and our mood is changed for us. Take time to focus on The Lord each day, ask Him to help you manage your time as He wants. To do the things that He wants you to focus on. When we take the load off our our shoulders and lay it before Him, asking Him to sort it out and dispose of the unnecessary , we lighten our load the way He sees fit.
