Prioritize 12-14-2024

Good morning Father God,

This morning, I have been easily distracted. I look at the piles of things I need to organize and look through, I look at my calendar for the day and the week ahead and I look at lists. I think about the chores I could and maybe should be doing, the things to plan, the shopping to do and, my mind drifts away from the prayers I sat down to pray.

First today, let me pray for another day of life and for all the thoughts running through my head. I stop and pray for a long time friend of my mom’s who passed yesterday. They have been friends since grade school and got together weekly for years to play cards and visit. It’s another loss of a dear friend and companion she will dearly miss. I know it makes her sad and lonely to lose friends. pray for comfort for his family and my mom.

Dear Father, help me to prioritize all of the “stuff” of life, not by my priority, but by Yours. Help me to spend and invest all of my resources wisely, to do Your will and work toward Your plans and goals for my life. Help to me use my time, energy, talents, money and everything else as You would have me do.

Help me to sit in silence for a while and just be with You. Speak to me and help me to calm and quite my thoughts so that I may hear Your guidance.

Thank You for this time and Your grace to lead me on Your path. In the Mighty Name of Jesus I pray and thank You for this time; Amen.
