Thank you Lord for the peace of mind I have today. I started to drown under the pressure of it all and started feelings like I had to choose. But then I read the book of Ecclesiastes and it really did something for my spirit.

Ecc 11:6-10

Sow your seed in the morning and do not let your hand rest until the evening; for you do not know which will have success, whether this one or that one, or whether they will both do well. 7 Light is sweet, and it is good for the eyes to see the sun. 8 For if a man should live many years, let him enjoy them all. But he should remember that the days of darkness may be many; all that is to come is futility. 9 Rejoice, young man, while you are young, and let your heart be glad in the days of your youth. Follow the ways of your heart and go where your eyes lead you; but know that the true God will bring you into judgment for all these things. 10 So remove troublesome things from your heart, and ward off harmful things from your body, for youth and the prime of life are futility.

Translation:

Work on the things because you do not know which efforts will succeed.

Enjoy your youth but remember God will judge your actions.

There will be hard times but don’t dwell on them.

Stop worrying because life passes quickly. Don’t waste your life worrying.
