Are we really all too busy to spend time with God? I was in a situation recently where one group was bashing another group and I innocently asked if they had ever gotten together to pray. You might have thought I suggested they mate with animals. The idea that we “waste” time praying with “those” people was reprehensible. Now, if I suggested they get together to debate and fight, that would have been fine. We have plenty of time for that. In another setting I was speaking to a group of colleagues about personal devotions. To a person, each lamented that they simply didn’t have time; they were too busy for prayer, devotional reading, contemplation and reflection, worship apart from that which they led. This morning, I find myself feeling the same — too much on the plate to take care of my own spiritual, physical or emotional needs. What’s wrong with us?
