I don’t have enough time in a day, I don’t even have time for myself let alone God. I pray when I can, and at least I’m there to worship Him every Sunday. What little time I have is for my family, surely God will understand?
Shouldn’t the real question be, how did time for us even come to be? If the answer we arrive at is God then should we not seek His counsel as to how we are to better manage the time given to us?
Our Lord Jesus shows us the way, by His example of love and obedience to God our heavenly Father. Everything He did or said was in His Father’s time. And I know for a fact through personal experience, that by serving Him faithfully with all my heart; my time is multiplied in a day.
O heavenly Father I love You and want to honour You all the days of my life, guide and help me better manage my resources and the time You have given me. Through Your Son Jesus Christ my Lord who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God for ever and ever. Amen

Ecclesiastes 3:1-11
Gospel
Luke 9:18-22
One day when Jesus was praying alone in the presence of his disciples he put this question to them, ‘Who do the crowds say I am?’ And they answered, ‘John the Baptist; others Elijah; and others say one of the ancient prophets come back to life.’ ‘But you,’ he said ‘who do you say I am?’ It was Peter who spoke up. ‘The Christ of God’ he said. But he gave them strict orders not to tell anyone anything about this.
; ‘The Son of Man’ he said ‘is destined to suffer grievously, to be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes and to be put to death, and to be raised up on the third day.’
