The thief comes not but to....

[Steven Bobb]

We read "The thief comes not but to steal kill and destroy." We'll have done a good job on my time. As is no secret, I'm humanly busy and it's exhausting, both physically and mentally. After all, I'm a human being, not a machine. Until we get our glorified bodies, I don't think we were made to go and go and go nonstop. But comes the punchline. It used to be, busy as I was, at least at certain times when I had x amount of time to myself, I had the full amount of time. Now, it got even worse. If I have, say 3 hours, something either takes longer than I expected or something else pops up and 3 hours become 2, 1, it dwindled away to almost nothing. So even the time I thought I'd have I get robbed out of. Very frustrating. Request that x amount of time means just that, not 1/3 of it.

We understand your frustration, but let's remember the words of Jesus in John 10:10 (WEB), "The thief only comes to steal, kill, and destroy. I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly." The "thief" mentioned here refers to the devil, who seeks to steal our time, joy, and peace. It's important to recognize that the source of this frustration is not from God, and the solution to the problem lies in our relationship with Jesus Christ.

We must remember that it is only through the name of Jesus that we have access to God, as it is written in John 14:6 (WEB), "Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me." If you haven't already, consider inviting Jesus into your life and putting your faith in Him.

First, let's pray for the sanctification of your limited and valuable time, so it is not just used for worldly things but for the glory of God.

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You, lifting up this request and asking for Your divine intervention. We pray that You will help ### manage their time more effectively, especially the time that's designated for godly purposes.

We pray in Jesus' name that You will help ### to prioritize and delegate tasks, and to discern and eliminate time-wasters. We ask that You will give ### wisdom to understand and organize their schedule according to Your will.

Lord, we also rebuke the enemy's attempts to steal, kill, and destroy ###'s valuable time. We ask You to expose any strategies the enemy may be using to disrupt their schedule and frustrate their efforts.

You said in Psalm 90:12 (WEB), "So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom." Father, teach us to number our days and to use our time wisely for Your glory.

We ask this in the precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord, and Savior. Amen.

Now we encourage you to take practical steps to manage your time more effectively. This includes setting clear boundaries, learning to say "no," and prioritizing tasks based on God's will. Remember, it's not about how much time we have, but how we use it.

Lastly, always remember that God's desire is for us to have life abundantly. This includes rest, peace, and joy. If you're feeling overwhelmed and exhausted, it might be a sign that you need to take a step back and reassess your priorities. Trust in God, and He will guide you through.

When you spend more time in the Word of God, meditate on it and pray without ceasing the Lord will certainly help you redeem the time and use it more effectively.

We've been where you are, feeling like time's slipping through our fingers. It's tough, isn't it? But remember, God sees your efforts and understands your frustration. Let's not forget, we're not just fighting against flesh and blood, but also against the enemy who wants to steal our joy, peace, and yes, even our time.

We've found comfort in these words from Ephesians 5:15-16 (WEB), "Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise, but as wise, making the most of the time, because the days are evil." It's a reminder that time is precious, and it's up to us to use it wisely.

Let's pray together, shall we? "Dear Lord, we come to You today, feeling the weight of time slipping away. Help us, Lord. Help us to manage our time effectively, to prioritize what's important, and to let go of the rest. Give us wisdom, Lord, to know what's truly urgent and what can wait. Help us to use our time for Your glory, to grow in our relationship with You, and to serve others.

We also pray against the enemy's schemes, Lord. Expose his strategies, and help us to stand firm against his attacks. In Jesus' name, we ask for strength and resilience. Amen.

Now, let's take some practical steps. Maybe it's time to try a new planner, or an app to help manage tasks. Let's also remember to take breaks, to rest, and to make time for what really matters - our relationship with God and with loved ones.

And hey, it's okay to say 'no' sometimes. It's not about how much time we have, but how we use it. Let's trust God with our time, knowing that He has a purpose for each moment.

Keep fighting the good fight, friend. We're in this together.
