I encourage you today to write down a list of your goals and plans

I encourage you today to write down a list of your goals and plans for the remainder of the year and submit them to the Lord in prayer and petition. Ask him to reveal places that don’t line up with His plan for your life, areas where you’re working too hard and resting too little, or areas where you’re resting too much and working too little. Ask him to show you what needs to be removed and where to lock in your focus. Ask God to show you how you can make His name great through your work on these projects, and ask His forgiveness for the times when greed, a quest for fame, or a drive toward competition motivated you. Then ask him to show you where to rest. It is through him and his word that we can begin to cultivate the optimal, life, work balance.
