Poverty of our Time This is a re-post from July. I am quite convicted this morning, as I perceived my push for time in the morning and throughout my weekly schedule was a recent situation. I will most certainly spend some serious prayer time this day regarding how I prioritize my time.

Blessings.
Mary

This prayer is from faithstreams.com, one of the daily newsletters I receive via email. I'm finding myself challenged to focus solely on God this morning, and as I searched for scripture to share, I found I couldn't really be settled upon a particular passage. In my distraction, I opened the email and found this prayer, which I think is beautiful. I hope you will pray this prayer with me today as you go about your busy life.

Prayer for a Busy Day
The Rev. Margaret B. Gunness

In the midst of this most busy day,
I want to offer to you, most patient Spirit of God,
the poverty of my time. I always feel so rushed
and pressured, and it sometimes seems as if I think
that only the hours of this one day are limited.
Yet I forget that the hours of a lifetime are limited too.
So please slow me down, you patient God,
and help me to be aware that every moment is precious,
and that the sum total of my moments
on this earth are limited and so to treasure them
each and every one.  ¶ 6:34 AM
