The Realization

It's taken a while but I've come to the realization that I need to cut back on something in my life. I have no time for a personal time with God, to reflect on the day, or even write in my prayer journal! It's so frustrating living like this... but what do I cut back on? I've thought about quitting one of my jobs, or a class. But "I'm not a quitter. I don't just up and end something. I've committed to this" and so I don't quit my job. I don't have more time with God and for that my relationship with Him suffers. I have friends at work -sort of- and I enjoy it -most of the time. Why is it so hard to just let it go? Is it because I'm so committed to work I've made it a priority over everything else?!

And if I were to have more free time would I even use it wisely? I suppose this is a matter of prayer... How much of a priority am I making God in my life...?

"Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good.
Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another
above yourselves. Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your
spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. Be joyful in hope, patient in
affliction, faithful in prayer. Share with God's people who are
in need. Practice hospitality."
Romans 12:9-13
