To Give Others Time Together
Ever-present Savior,
Time is a gift from you to manage. The desire to spend time together with others is also how many people feel loved and filled up. Guide me to tune in to this need of others close to me, so that I plan to spend dedicated, undistracted quality time with them. When doing so is inconvenient or requires significant sacrifice, remind me that you gave me the gift of eternity together with you. Just as you came to serve me, so make me willing to serve others in this way. In a culture that is always busy, overbooked, overcommitted, and overstressed, giving others the gift of time together can be one of the most precious commodities. Help me give my time to others freely and generously.
In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
