1 Peter 4:7

The end and culmination of all things is near. Therefore, be sound minded and self-controlled for the purpose of prayer (staying balanced and focused on the things of God so that your communication will be clear, reasonable, specific and pleasing to Him.)

If our lives are pushed to the limit, we will struggle to find balance. The Bible and Jesus are stabilizers, protectors, and guides, but if we don’t have time to spend with them, we will falter. Prayer and study are vital to our lives. Time spent in the Word is time well spent listening for guidance from the Holy Spirit.
