A Prayer for Friday, July 6, 2012

Busy

Being busy can be a good thing; after all, if we have things to do that are important enough to do then it is good that we be busy doing them.

Sometimes being busy is thrust upon us; there are things that we really must do.

But sometimes being busy is something we thrust upon ourselves; we are busy because we choose to be busy, even if the things we are busy doing are not all that important.

Gracious God, rid us of our drive to prove our importance or to justify our existence by staying busy all the time.

Give us the discipline to do with all our might those things that are important and to let those things go that are not—and the wisdom to know the difference.

And above all else, help us to be busy doing good.

Amen.
