When Did Life Gets So Busy?

Life nowadays is extremely busy. When we compare life now and life back in, Let's say, the 1960's the pace of how we lived then and the way we live now, has changed. People use to go to work, come home, have dinner with their families and on sundays they rested. Most companies were closed on Sundays during those times. Now, with that being said, I wasn't born in the "60's" I'm an "80's" baby but even in the 80s the times have drastically changed.
We live in a world where its about making money, no rest keeping on the grind and stacking paper. People are stressed and exhausted due to the fact that they aren't taking out the time to rest! Its almost like we crave being busy and its becoming an addiction that is slowly swifting us away from Christ. We're so busy that the lack of communication in our households is running rampant while God is sitting back saying what about me.

When we live "busy" our sincere prayers that we use to do have now turned into petitions of needs and wants because we now have no time to just sit in Jesus's presence and just worship who He is.
There needs to be a balance in our life and it must include Christ. We should reevaluate our schedules and make time to actually spend with God without rushing.
I love the story of Mary and Martha. Mary stopped everything to focus on Jesus. Martha, who also loved Jesus, was busy trying to make sure it was perfect in her house before the Lord showed up and thats ok but in the midst of her cleaning and busy attitude she missed what was much more important. Was she wrong? Absolutely not, she just needed balance. Don't you want to be in a place where you can discern when to just stop and go before God and not "squeeze" him in. He loves us so much He appreciates any time we give to him. What more can he reveal to us and love on us if we didn't just throw a prayer up? 
Its time that we really stop and take time in the Lords presence. Its doesn't have to be long and drawn out, just enjoy him. Your Prayers can consist of just taking time and singing to God, we all make time to sing a tune here and there, but the atmosphere totally shifts when its to our Creator. You can also just read and reflect on His word and thank him for it. Sometimes just sitting and talking or silently sit still with your Bible open and ready because He may just speak to you is a good way to spend time with him. Whatever way you choose just try not to rush. You can tell when your rushing. The bad thing about rushing is sometimes things end up missing something valuae. We NEVER want to miss God. So I challenge you all to dedicate 10-15 relaxed minutes with Jesus. I guarantee you will want more of him. Also learn to rest we have 6 days a week given to us to work but be designed the 7th day to rest. So have peace in him, try it out, you'll never be the same again!
