Your Question:
How do I prioritize my own well-being when I'm struggling to make ends meet?
Answer:
As someone who's been in the trenches of ministry and family life, I've learned that prioritizing your own well-being is crucial, especially when struggling to make ends meet. It's easy to get caught up in trying to meet everyone's demands, but that's exactly when you need to re-evaluate your priorities. For me, it starts with making time for God and drawing on His strength. If my schedule doesn't allow for that, I know I need to rework my priorities and make a new schedule. It's not just about finding time for God, but also about keeping our primary goal constantly in front of us. As the Bible says, "Seeking to be well-pleasing to Him" should be our top priority, not just winning souls or establishing churches. By focusing on God and keeping our priorities straight, we can avoid becoming driven persons and instead become directed persons. This means learning to say no to people and preserving God-centered priorities. In my own life, I've learned the importance of taking small daily steps of faith. When I was struggling to make ends meet, I had to trust that God would provide for our needs. I remember reviewing my life plan and making sure I knew the direction God wanted me to go. It's not always easy, but by following these steps and prioritizing my relationship with God, I've been able to navigate tough times and come out stronger on the other side.
