Seated at his feet

Dear God, I come to You tired from my busy life. I confess I often put tasks before spending time with You.

Forgive me, Father, for misplaced priorities. Like Martha, I worry too much. I forget the one thing that truly matters: **Your presence**.

Holy Spirit, teach me to choose the 'good part' daily. Help me quiet my mind. Remind me Your love is not based on what I do.

Help me find rest in You, even when life is busy. Guide me to balance my work with quiet time in Your arms. Amen.

The good part

Our modern world often praises being busy. We fill our days with many tasks and distractions. This can make us feel important, but it also makes us forget what truly matters. We risk losing focus on Jesus.

Jesus once spoke to a dear friend, Martha. He said: *"Martha, Martha, you are worried and upset about many things, but few things are needed—or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her."*

Martha was busy serving Jesus. She wanted to please Him. But her many tasks made her anxious. She lost her focus. **Mary chose to sit and listen to Jesus.** This was the better part.

God does not need our constant work to advance His Kingdom. He wants our hearts first. He longs for us to be still and present with Him. He values quiet time with Him more than endless activity.
