As a young person, your life is busy. You have many things that take your attention. You’ve got a mountain of homework, your friends, family and maybe a job responsibility… everything is taking your time and everything is IMPORTANT?!?!
With so many things you have to do, how do you decide what is most important and know that you have done your best everyday? There IS a way to make sense of it all… First….Make time for God – Always make sure that no matter how busy you are, take at least that one moment in the day to allow time in your life for God. Read a Bible verse and say a prayer. No matter how you talk to God, He listens and knows your heart. When you are with God all things are easier!!! Without God, it is like trying to drive a car without the tank of gas. You can go on fumes for a bit, but you won’t go far. With God you have peace and know that you are loved, have help and will never be alone. We all have thing we are good at and things we need help with – Being lazy is different than knowing what you can and can’t do. God made each of us to be good at something and not so good at other things. You might the best science fair project or be what you think is the “in crowd”. That’s okay. HE made us that way so we can help His other creations and come to Him when we feel we are just not “good enough”. There are so many things that pull you in lots of directions. Friends to hang out, homework, practices, chores at home, friends…etc. You feel pulled in many direction and have to decide what things are the most important. You feel like there is no time to do everything. When things get busy and upsetting, go to God and ask for his help. The only way you are going to know how to get through it is to spend time with God by talking to Him. When you talk to God He puts it in your mind and heart the way to get the things done that you need to do so that you don’t have as much stress in your life. BUT always give Him the credit!! He will lead you in the right direction. Because of God… YOU ARE!!! He gave His son to die suffer and die for YOU because HE BELIEVED IN YOU!!! Spend a little time with God and realize there are 24 hours in a day and sometimes not everything will be perfect or get done exactly the way you would like it to be but God never gives up on you, YOU are part of His Grand Plan. SO GIVE HIM THE TIME HE NEED TO HELP YOU. In a crazy busy world it is easy to get selfish. It is easy to leave God out when we get busy. God is key to getting through stressful situations, so decide to not put God to the side because it is only with Him in your life is life easier. 1 Peter 5:7 Casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you. Pray: God I come to you in the name of Jesus and I thank you for your help that is always there for me. You said that I could come to you any time I need you. I ask for your help. I need you and I believe that you will tell my mind and heart what I need to live today. In Jesus’ name, Amen. |
