I never have Time...
Have you ever caught yourself thinking this?
“There just aren’t enough hours in the day to do what I’m supposed to do.”
That thought usually shows up when the day is already heavy. Work is pulling you one way. Family is pulling another. Your own health and faith quietly falling to the bottom of the list.
You are not careless or disorganized.
You are actually carrying a lot..
But what is really going on when time always feels scarce?
Most men do not lack time. They lack margin. They are saying yes to too many good things and leaving no room for the best things. Time pressure is often a signal, not a failure. It reveals where priorities are misaligned and where boundaries are missing.
Which leads to an uncomfortable question.
Are you asking God to give you more time, or are you inviting Him to reorder what already fills your day?
Scripture puts it plainly.
“Be very careful, then, how you live, not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.”Ephesians 5:15–16 NIV
Notice what this does not say. It does not promise extra hours. It does not suggest hustling harder. It calls for wisdom. Intentional living. Choosing what matters when everything feels urgent.
Jesus was never rushed, yet He was always on mission. He rested. He withdrew. He said no. And because of that, He always had time for what the Father asked of Him. Presence came before productivity.
If you feel constantly behind, it may not be because you are failing. It may be because you are trying to be everything for everyone without first anchoring yourself to what God is actually asking of you.
So before you rush into the rest of today, pause and ask yourself this.What am I spending time on that God never asked me to carry?
Here is today’s active stillness challenge.
Find five quiet minutes. No phone. No noise. No multitasking. Sit somewhere calm. Breathe slowly. Ask God one honest question.
“What deserves my time today, and what can wait?”
Do not argue with the answer. Just receive it.
After that stillness, move with intention.
Choose one.
A twenty minute walk outside with no headphones.Or five rounds of slow pushups, squats, and deep breaths, focusing on control, not speed.Or a simple stretch and mobility session, ten minutes of caring for the body God gave you.
Let the movement remind you that your body was never meant to live in a constant state of hurry.
As you finish today, pray this in your own words, making it personal.
God, help me steward my time with wisdom. Show me what matters most, not just what feels loud. Give me courage to say no when needed and faith to trust that obedience is more valuable than busyness. Align my schedule with Your priorities and teach me how to live present, not rushed. Amen.
This is not about fixing your entire calendar today.
It is about choosing alignment over urgency and faith over frenzy.
