In today's Gospel, Luke 21: 34-36, Jesus says to us: Beware that your hearts do not become drowsy from carousing and drunkenness and the anxieties of daily life, and that day (the final coming of the Lord Jesus) catch you by surprise like a trap. For that day will assault everyone who lives on the face of the earth. Be vigilant at all times and pray that you have the strength to escape the tribulations that are imminent and stand before the Son of Man."
Lord, help me keep my priorities straight. It is so easy to get caught up in the daily events of the day, to run frantically from one thing to another (and accomplish nothing of significance). Help me focus on You versus being riveted to repetitive thoughts that deprive me of the peace which You, Lord, want to give me. Show me the way to Your peace! Redirect me when I lose that peace so that I have the strength to carry out your will in the small and not-so-small tasks or issues that you want me to address or accomplish today! I ask this in Jesus' name! Thank you, Jesus!
