The Battle of Busyness – Making Time for What Matters MostSample

Day 5 – Choosing What Lasts
Devotional Thought:
Life is short, and time is precious. We spend so much of it on things that don’t last—yet intimacy with God is eternal. At the end of your life, it won’t matter how many tasks you completed or how many deadlines you met. What will matter is whether you knew Him.
Every day, you face a choice: to let busyness win or to choose what lasts. Today, choose Him.
Prayer:
Lord, help me live with wisdom. Teach me to value what matters most—time with You. Let my life reflect eternal priorities, not temporary distractions. Amen.
Reflection/Action Step:
Write down one change you’ll make to guard your time with God daily. Commit to it for the next 30 days.
These five days have helped you see that busyness is not just a schedule issue—it’s a heart issue. But this is just the beginning. God is inviting you into a full 30-day journey to reorder your life around Him.
My book, Get Your Groove Back in God: A 30-Day Journey to an Intentional Prayer Life, will equip you with daily lessons, reflections, and action steps to keep your fire burning strong.
