I am not familiar with the author of the following quote but I came across the quote in a book on spiritual disciplines. I share this quote with you because it hit too close for me personally and thought it might speak to you as well.
"The pace of life and our preoccupation with unimportant things take so much of our attention. The significant things, like taking time to develop friendship, to read and pray,...to listen to God--these all get sacrificed on the altar of good works and Christian busyness." Luci Shaw
Lord God, help me to see where in my life I am placing far too much emphasis on the unimportant at the expense of things that really matter. I Jesus Name, AMEN.
