[SPEAKER_00]: Lord, help me make the best use of my time. [SPEAKER_00]: Show me where I've been centering my schedule on the temporary, instead of the eternal. [SPEAKER_00]: Give me wisdom to order my life, so that meeting with you isn't an afterthought, but the very symptom of everything I do. [SPEAKER_00]: Holy Spirit, thank you for making me one with you. [SPEAKER_00]: Remind me daily that you dwell within me and I am never apart from you.

[SPEAKER_00]: God, today I choose to send to my life around meeting with you. [SPEAKER_00]: You are worthy of my time. [SPEAKER_00]: You are worthy of being the very center of who I am and all I do. [SPEAKER_00]: May my life be rooted in your presence and bear fruit to glorify your name. [SPEAKER_00]: In Jesus' name, I pray. [SPEAKER_00]: Amen.
