Help me, Lord!!

I thought I had turned a corner toward a brighter future. 

Now I’m back in the too-familiar old dilemma, surrounded by chaos & unfinished tasks after offering gifts of presence & encouragement to others.

What happened? I quit weighing my choices & priorities against my values & goals. I took on too much & didn’t think things through as I decided what to let go. I lost focus & started surfing — wasting time on less important things. 

What now? Continue to pray. Confess my mistake & the mess it caused. Accept God’s grace & forgiveness & extend the same to myself. Acknowledge a step back. A slip doesn’t have to become a relapse. With God’s help, I can pause, pray, trust, obey, breathe, rest & give thanks as my life marches on.
