LORD WE PRAY FOR BALANCE IN ALL AREAS OF LIFE

Some people are lazy while others are workaholics. Lazy people, see it futility to be dashing about for success. Lazy people fold their hands and hurt both themselves and those who depend on them. Workaholics are often driven by envy, greed, and a constant desire to stay ahead of everyone else. Both extremes are foolish and irresponsible. The answer is to work hard but with moderation. Take time to enjoy the others gifts God have given us and realize that it is God who gives out the assignments and the rewards, not us.

Ecclesiastic 4:4 And I saw that all toil and all achievement spring from one person’s envy of another. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind. 5 Fools fold their hands and ruin themselves.  Better one handful with tranquility than two handfuls with toil and chasing after the wind.

Father, we thank You, for helping us live a balanced life and the people You put around us, to help us with that balance.  Lord, teach us how to take time to enjoy life, and our families.  Lord, teach us to love others and take time to extend our hands in service, to those in need.  Father, infuse our hearts and minds with Your Son’s Spirit, that helps create a life of gratitude, discipline, accountable, and balance.  Lord, help us attain balance in all areas of our lives, spiritually, physically, and mentally. Lord, search our hearts and minds and keep us in a steady position of balance, so that we do not fall, in Jesus name, Amen
