I Have So Much To Do, I Don't Have Time

 

God knows and understands that we have a busy life. He understands that we have needs, responsibilities, and goals that need to be fulfilled and/or accomplished. So how can we show him that he's still important to us no matter how busy we may be?

God wants us to make time for him. If we are on our way to an appointment, work, gym, school, etc. talk to him in your car, on the drive to your destination. 

If you are at work, school, or with your family and there is no way to talk to him the way you would want too, take a small break, go inside the restroom for 5 minutes and talk to him. Remind him that you haven't forgotten about him and let him know that you still need and want him.

 If you're home, before you start your busy day, go into your room, bathroom, kitchen, living room etc and seek God. Don't ask God what you want him to give you or to resolve that problem that you have pending, but use that time to really ask him to change you. Ask him to show you what he wants from you. Ask, what do you need to do in order to get to know him. Ask him to guide you through the day so you can remove what is holding you back from living a life with Him and/or to show you what you need to do more to get closer to Him.

 Finally, you can also take some time to participate of one of the church services in the morning before you start your busy day or at night, after you're done with your busy day. For example, I work overnight and I work 10 hour shifts every day. On Fridays, as soon as I am off, I go straight to church and attend of a short service of an hour. Then and there, I am proving to God that no matter how tired and sleepy I may be or the long day I had at work, nothing is going to get in the way of my commitment that I have with him. During the service, my faith is fed, which makes me spiritually stronger, and I also talk to God during the prayers and I let him know everything I have within me. By the time I arrive home, even though my sleep was cut shorter, I have an assurance that my God is with me the same way I am with him.

We are all busy but it's in the small things that we do, that we truly show God that in the midlist of our chaotic and busy day, that we still want him no matter what.
