| REST STOP #4: Praying through the Palm Pilot Have you ever wondered what your real priorities are? One way to find out is to do a weekly or monthly check at how you spend your time, talent and money. Make a simple table or spreadsheet. Label columns with general categories where you spend your money. Then take your checkbook and look over the last week or month. For what things have you spent your money? What percentage went to family items, fun things, utilities, food and clothing? What percentage went to the government? What percentage went to the church? Now comes the big question: Do these percentages communicate your true priorities? Of course they do. But are these the priorities you really want? Now glance through your palm pilot or date book. Make the categories again. How much time did you spend at your job last week or last month? With your family? How much time did you spend taking spiritual care of yourself? How much time went to God? Is this where you want to be? Now take your date book, your palm pilot and your checkbook and look through them again. Pray over the itemized figures, the appointments, the plans. Can you give these things over to God, to change as God sees fit? No one does this perfectly. But God can give us the strength to trust him more, the strength to make concrete changes. If these things represent your life, what do they say? What can they say, by God’s help, that would be more life giving? | |||||||||
