To-do lists, whether digital, on paper or in your head can be helpful, but if we are not careful, they can cause unnecessary stress and worry. This is especially true during the holiday season. We can worry about not getting everything done in the timeframe we set for ourselves. We can also become so hyper-focused about completing our frivolous tasks that we miss out on spending time in more meaningful ways.
Your to-do list will be much more productive and your day much more significant if you surrender it over to God first. Ask Him to help you prioritize, to be flexible if divine opportunities come forward, and to keep an eternal perspective for the day.
Pray over your to-do list and find peaceful purpose on this “Not Gonna Worry” Wednesday.
