No time for Bible Study!
You feel angry, frustrated and not at peace. The Bible says to be imitators of God, but how do you imitate God if you don’t know Him and what He does? Believe what God says. Do what you know is right. Talk with God every day. Learn to follow Him. Study His Word and spend time with Him.
No time for your health!
It is hard to control your tongue when you feel worn out, tired or sick. Instead it is much easier for you to get angry, fretful and worried instead. When you get the rest you need, you won’t find it as difficult to speak words which build others up instead of harmful words. Take care of yourself and develop the energy to take care of those you love.
No time for your husband!
Frequent misunderstandings happen when you don’t spend enough time with your husband. Plan regular time to talk without the kids and do a fun activity together several times a month. Treat your husband like your best friend. Be polite and forgive him for what you wish he would do, but doesn’t. Meet your husband’s needs and see him shower his love back on you.
No time for your children!
Arguments, backtalk and fights happen when your children clamor for your attention and discipline. Well defined rules allow your children to feel safe. Take the time to listen to your children and they know you care deeply for them. Find time for family fun each week. Make the sacrifice; spend time with these precious ones God has entrusted to you.
No time for your home!
Messes cause stresses. Your home is the place where you and your family rest, relax and play. Would Jesus feel at home living with you, or do you need to make changes in how you live? Take two minutes and clear off the first place you see. Make a weekly dinner plan and shop your plan. Organization and a little planning clear your mind and help you think on the good things in your life.
No time for yourself!
Do not harbor bitterness or anger against yourself. Instead renew your mind with the truth of who God thinks you are: His beautiful creation and precious child. That makes you infinitely valuable. Speak to yourself with words which build you up. Forgive yourself for the mistakes and errors you have made. Take care of yourself.
Say “No” to the things which cause your priorities to be wrong. Say “Yes” to God and the right things in your life.
See Ephesians 4:17- 5:2 for additional clarity on living a new life for God.
