Respect for others' time!
Dear Lord, I am really having an issue today. It was kind of funny when I was younger when I would be on the phone with my Mom, and I would say, "Mom, I've got to go now!" She would reply, "Okay honey! Oh... I forgot to tell you...do you remember...?" Out of respect for her, (She was a great lady!), I would listen and sometimes end up late for where I was going. I am feeling angry at people when I tell them I have to go meditate and pray right now! I even respect them enough to tell them I will not be responding to their messages.
I tell them I need to go spend time with You! They continue to ask questions and talk as if that means nothing! You come first! If people don't respect the time I need with you...
Lord, please fill me with the Holy Spirit and send peace. When people tell me they have to go, I believe them and say goodbye!
I believe that is why both of my son's call daily. They know if they have to go, I will say, "Oh, okay! I love you! Bye!"
Matthew 7:12 KJV - "Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets."
Lord, please give everyone the understanding to respect other's time as I respect their time! (Especially when we need to be with You!)
In Jesus' name, I pray, Amen!
ALL my Love,
Your child,
Heidi
