Prayer for a busy day
I want to spend time with you today, but I feel so rushed.
I have so much to do.
I know you understand.
No, wait.
Help me prioritize.
You first.
Then what ministry would you have me do?
What people can I touch?
And help me not to obsess about my to-do list
that’s sitting there on the table screaming at me.
Things are less important than people.
My world is less important than your plans for me.
This life is less important than the life to follow.
I know that.
And yet–
it all feels so terribly important.
Use me.
Change me.
Give me your eyes to see the life you want for me
and the courage to live it.
Amen.
