My life is too busy

‭Proverbs 3:13, 17 NIV‬
[13] Blessed are those who find wisdom, those who gain understanding,
...
[17] Her ways are pleasant ways, and all her paths are peace.

A peaceful and pleasant life is associated with finding wisdom.  However, I push myself too hard, and I overload myself with responsibility. I care too much about what other people think of me. I judge myself critically.  

Wisdom tells me to know the limits of my finite capacity and to not obligate myself for 100% duty cycle.  Wisdom tells me to focus on what my Father thinks, not people.  Wisdom says Jesus is the judge, not me.

Father, I accept the invite of my humanity. Jesus lived a perfect life within the constraints of finite human capacity. He took time to sabbath and rest.  Jesus spent time daily with the Father to know His will.  I break agreement with the lie that my value is proportional to my productivity. I break agreement with the lie that I am capable of judging myself accurately. Jesus, I trust your evaluation. Holy Spirit, I submit myself to your loving guidance.  I love you.
