Day 32: Not Enough Hours in the Day

Do you ever find yourself so busy with life that you can't even remember what you were supposed to be doing? From one minute to the next you get sidetracked because you have a million things on your list but no game plan to get them done. Do you ever find yourself too busy to pray? In a world that sometimes feels like it is spinning so fast around us, we are too busy not to pray. The devil will use any little distraction in this world to bring us a little farther away from God. Guard yourself from the ways of the world and stay in constant contact with your heavenly father.

And rising very early in the morning, while it was still dark, he departed and went out to a desolate place, and there he prayed. (Mark 1:35)

Jesus understood the importance of prayer and would always find time in his busy day to be in contact with the father. How do you get your day started? Do you wake a few minutes early for a workout, morning run, or to read the paper? Do you ever make it routine to get up early to pray? If you enjoy waking early in the morning you might know the peace that is sometimes found in the early hours of the day. If you are not a morning person, then find that time of day where there are the least amount of distractions present and pray.You might suddenly feel like you added a few hours to your day just by taking time to pray.

Written by Jason Tucker, a deacon at Mt. Juliet

I read about a person who said, "I am so busy, I MUST take time to pray." The context revealed the person knew that prayer would make a difference. Jason, thanks for reminding me again of how it is important to pray - and perhaps even more important when we are busy! drs
