A Prayer About Priorities

When I analyze what I am doing

SOVEREIGN LORD,

I often find myself racing from one crisis, deadline, or e-mail to the next. In the process I can neglect what I should be paying attention to. I realize this may mean I need to get better organized, but it also may reveal a faulty mind-set. Help me, I pray, to reorganize my mind around your priorities and values.

What do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul? Is anything worth more than your soul? Matthew 16:26
