So I think I have a fairly good grasp on trusting God with my finances, not that I don’t have to kick myself now and then as reminder. I’m human. But I wish I could trust him with my time as well. Is it because I don’t see a verse that says it clearly enough for me? You’ve probably heard Steven Covey’s illustration that life is like a jar of rocks: you’ve got to put the big ones in first if you expect them all to fit. So why do I have such a hard time putting my prayer time first? Do I think that God will let me drag through the day if I get up early to pray? Do I think that he can’t work miracles in my schedule? Maybe let me get in the fast traffic lane after all? Silly me. “Lord, protect my time with you. Nag me in your loving way until I drop everything and spend time face-to-face, one-on-one with you. Pull me to you. I pray this for everyone I know as well, Father, and for those who don’t know you yet, I pray it even more.”
