Lord, there has been too much change in my life recently, and I feel overwhelmed.  Because I try to be a responsible person, I sometimes forget that it is unwise for me to allow my sense lf duty to override my common sense. 

Lord, help me to allow myself more time to rest, relax, and pray.  Guide me toward something spiritual to read ever day and a quiet time afterwards to reflect on what I have read and how it pertains to my life.  I truly want to simplify my life and live more as Christ did.  Help me remember that there is no loss or problem I must face alone.  You are always near, with Your love and compassion to comfort me.  Amen.
