We've seen the prayer before: "God grant me the serenity to..." Darlene uses this prayer to help us put our to-do lists in each category.
- The things I cannot change.
- The things I can.
- The wisdom to know the difference.
In the end, if we decide that our faith and family are our top two priorities, then we need to make our to-do lists reflect that. And pray to God to keep us focused on these things first above all else. If we have as our motive our top priorities, then the important things will get done.
Here are some verses to reflect on today and to use for our SOAP study:
Proverbs 16:2-3 NIV
All a person's ways seem pure to them, but motives are weighed by the Lord. Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans.
Matthew 6:33 NLT
Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.
So our to-do lists from now on need to have a new look. Need some help prioritizing your day? Check out these printable calendars:
