Self-discipline is always something I’ve felt fairly good at in most areas of my life.
But recently, after listening to a Marie Forleo vlog {business + entrepreneur friends, she’s amazing!} I downloaded an app to manage time spent on my phone.
After one week it’s safe to say, this is clearly an area of self-disciple improvement for me!
I’m knees deep in a ‘busy season’ of life right now; feeling powerless to time. Yet, the time I’m spending on my phone doesn’t align with my top priorities — leaving me depleted + overwhelmed with my unfinished to-do’s at the end of the day.
It’s especially important during these ‘busy seasons’ that I set myself up for success, guarding the minutes + hours I do have; and using them in alignment with my top priorities.
In fact, 2 Timothy goes on to say in verse 1:14, ‘Guard the good deposit that was entrusted to you – guard it with the help of the Holy Spirit who lives in us.’
Dear God,I pray that with the help of the Holy Spirit who lives in me, I can guard the minutes + hours you’ve given me.I pray for self-discipline.And I pray that you would do more with my minutes + hours than I, alone can.
