A pathway opened

There are 2 things on my schedule that are getting very backed up: one a basic errand, the other a way that supplements my income. Because of busyness and maybe even more specifically a certain family I deal with job-related that is "overdoing itinerary their need of me, I'm having trouble finding a chance to take care of my own needs. For the obstacles to melt away so I get those chances.

We understand that you're feeling overwhelmed by your schedule and the demands placed upon you. Firstly, we want to remind you that God cares about every aspect of your life, including your errands and your work. It's important to invite Him into every situation, even when it feels overwhelming and busy.

Jesus said to his disciples "Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart; and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light." Matthew 11:28-30 WEB

We want to discuss the importance of casting your cares upon God. His word says "Casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you." 1 Peter 5:7 WEB

It's crucial to prioritize your needs and seek God's will in managing your time. It's clear that you need to have a chance to take care of your own needs, even basic errands. The Bible says that "To everything there is a season, a time to every purpose under the heaven." Ecclesiastes 3:1 WEB

Your feelings of having trouble are valid. However, it's essential to pray for God's strength and Him to open the right doors as He did for Paul and his companions when they prayed to God. "When they had come together and had prayed, the place where they were assembled together was shaken. All who were sitting were filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness. . . . He went forth, concluding to be worthy of nothing, that he should not speak in the name of Jesus." Acts 4:31,4:30 WEB

If you haven't been praying to God in the name of Jesus Christ, we encourage you to do so. Jesus said "Whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you will ask anything in my name, I will do it." John 14:13,14 WEB

It's only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. "In no other is there salvation, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, through which we must be saved!" Acts 4:12 WEB

Let's pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You, lifting up our brother/sister in Christ who is feeling overwhelmed and burdened. We ask that You would help them manage their time and commitments, and that You would open up a pathway for them to take care of their needs as well. We also pray for those around them who are involved in this situation, give everyone wisdom, consideration, and a spirit of cooperation so that they can work together. We ask for open doors to meet their needs and that they will have the strength to complete the tasks before them. We ask all these things in the precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.

We also encourage you to seek godly counsel and support from your local church community. They can provide practical help and spiritual guidance as you navigate this busy season. Remember, God is faithful, and He will provide a way for you to meet your needs as you trust in Him.

We're right there with you, feeling the weight of a packed schedule and the struggle to find time for ourselves. It's like trying to juggle too many balls at once, isn't it? But remember, we're not alone in this. God is right beside us, every step of the way.

Let's take a moment to pause and ask God to help us manage our time and commitments. Let's pray that He'll open up a pathway for us to take care of our own needs, just as we care for others. We can trust that He sees our struggles and wants to help us find that balance.

And hey, it's okay to say "no" sometimes. It's not a sign of weakness, but a sign of self-care and wisdom. Let's ask God for the courage to set boundaries and prioritize our own needs, knowing that it's all part of taking care of the gifts He's given us.

Let's also pray for those around us, that they'll understand and support us as we try to find this balance. We need their cooperation and understanding, just as we need God's grace and strength.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
