At times life can be overwhelming. When I was a student, I remember tyring to juggle school projects, finals, work, family functions, chores, and ministry. There would be some weeks where I would just get fed up and shut down for a day. In seasons like this, it is imperative to get away and spend time with the Lord. Getting alone with Jesus in busy seasons is the hardest thing to do, but it's also the most necessary. After spending time in prayer and devotion, I'm able to sort through all of life's demands and re prioritize each one according to importance. Sometimes it helps to view priorities through kingdom eyes and determine their importance in light of what really matters. As we evaluate our priorities we can avoid unnecessary stress. I'm not saying we shouldn't care about getting good grades on a final or anything, but assigning its proper importance helps us not to get stressed out. Don't neglect your time with our Heavenly Father. Seeking Him is always first and most important.
Mark 1:35 "Now in the morning, having risen a long while before daylight, He went out and departed to a solitary place; and there He prayed."
