Still Too Busy

I'm still too busy. I have replaced some bad habits with good habits but there's still many of them. I still have too many negative thoughts. Oh I don't act them out, but they are still there, none the less. This week I have to pull a lot of things together so I can enjoy a few days off in California with my family.

I'm praying for me this morning.

Lord God,

Father I am not worthy to be in Your presence. I'm a little down today. The more I seek You the tougher it gets. The Evil One is working overtime on me. These past few days I've especially struggled with my thought life. I had an opportunity for a relaxing day yesterday but somehow I managed to schedule every spare minute of my day with activity. I'm not resting enough. I'm tired much of the time. And at other times everything just seems overwhelming.

Help me, Lord. I need to be better organized. I need to manage my time better. I should be spending time in prayer for others not trying to prop myself up. I do thank You Jesus for my sweet wife. She is struggling like I am but she has a firm resolve to serve You faithfully. Thank You for her inspiration.

Father God, there's nothing else I can do but throw myself on Your tender mercy and with Your assistance I can do better from here on out. Guard my thoughts, Lord. Keep them pure and righteous. Guard my tongue as well. Let me not be anxious, impatient, and speak in haste. Let my words all be full of encouragement, my King.

Lord I do Love You, I just have a poor way of showing it... I'm sorry. With Your help, by Your grace I will get control of my thought life and my schedule, too. Lord I'm asking You to bless me so that I might be a blessing to others.

I pray these things in Jesus' name. Amen.
