Psalm 70:9-13

Do not cast me off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength is spent. For my enemies speak concerning me; those who watch for my life consult together and say, "God has forsaken him; pursue and seize him, for there is none to deliver him." O God, be not far from me; O my God, make haste to help me! (13) May my accusers be put to shame and consumed; with scorn and disgrace may they be covered who seek my hurt.

Lord, it is the spirit of busyness that is compounding my life. Lots of busy things and stuff that provide excuses for not concentrating on what I know to be Your priorities. I need a reality check from the Holy Spirit to help me to learn to look at each task in its proper sequence; to be able to set aside work that is not necessary to be done at this time but is very fascinating and complete those tasks that need to be done now but may seem very mundane or less interesting.
