If we are honest the balance of Work and Family is the most difficult challenge in our daily life. In my opinion the most important part of this balance is the need to have a relationship with a Higher Power. This is a matter of faith that is difficult to prove and measure. The need to understand that we are imperfect humans and that through Christ our imperfections are forgiven, provides a roadmap for balance in our lives. As I think about this, I am convinced that if my priorities are influenced by my faith, the balance becomes manageable because I am leaving the day-to-day challenges with God in Prayer.
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
