Remember those exhilarating early days of your Christian life when you couldn’t get enough of God’s Word, you couldn’t wait to be with God’s people, and you couldn’t find enough time to do all the praying and seeking God’s face that you wanted to? What happened? Work, bills, kids, chores, busyness… Life crowded out the Lord! It’s easy enough to diagnose the problem, but what’s the answer? Well, I think the answer is to fall in love with Jesus Christ all over again. If you do that, you’ll find time for Him. So instead of asking the Lord to give you more hours in the day, pray that He will give you more love in your heart for Him. That’s a prayer He will answer.
