When your heart fails

My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the Rock and firm Strength of my heart and my Portion forever.
                                                                                     - Psalm 73: 26 (Amplified Bible)

Ever had those days when you tried and tried and still nothing was happening? -Like, when you were expecting God to give you that promotion at work for being a model employee yet your boss fails to notice you, or worse, gives the promotion you thought you deserved to someone else.

Making the very most of the time [buying up each opportunity], because the days are evil.
                                             - Eph 5: 16

Time management is a very essential part of Christian life. Although saying that, its a very bustling life we lead nowadays, with additional responsibilities and with multiple duties to handle, its easy to scoff off this verse saying, "yeah, right...people in the olden times didn’t have to handle mortgages, 3 kids going to school, quarterly reports, almost impossible deadlines, vitamin supplements to pop, doc visits, book reports and what not!!" Yes, it’s a busy life we lead but why is it different for some than others who are able to rope in prayer, family, friends, job and leisure all into one single day? We can hardly excuse ourselves when we realize that it is the same 24 hours for everybody. The same time slot applies for everybody with or without conveniences. God has not been partial when it came to either of us, neither has he allotted 48 hours to some and 24 to another for each particular day. So how is it possible?

The first thing we need to do is to sleep early and rise early. If you can't sleep early, then it would be better to make it a habit to
