Days that are rushed and hurried, with very little accomplished, are the most tiring and unhappy. My energy falters and my self-esteem drops. What happened to me? My appointment book is filled, I have too many phone calls to make, and I seem to have lost my ability to say no to family, friends, and co-workers.
I have let my ego push me into feeling overly important and self-sufficient, and lost some things. An appreciation of order in my life. Acceptance of the gift of 24 hours. Overwhelmed with self-importance, I forgot my mission.
To serve means asking for guidance and making order. Little meaning comes from our mission if we do not complete the task. Grant me the assurance that God has given me purpose. Teach me the real meaning of Give me this day, and an acceptance of Your will. Help me to find order and meaning in my daily living. This good feeling will fill my spirit. As the day closes, let it close with a prayer of thanksgiving.
