How does anyone keep time well for prayer and meditation while fully giving yourself to family and work in this economy?

One can imagine work here as meant in the maximum of work vs life here.

I know people who are constantly crashing and that’s without the set time for prayer. And despite hearts or gold, obvious piety and a high work ethic.

Way I think is I prioritize time for God first before family and work. Even though we all have important responsibilities, if I dedicate an hour for prayer/worship everyday, God gives me the strength and energy to do even more throughout the day. It's sort of amazing really. So whenever I think I'm too busy for God, I know it's my lazy butt making excuses

Also: sanctify your work. Jesus’ 30 years as a carpenter were surely serving God too— not just the years of his public ministry.

Serve God through being the best worker. Make people wonder how you are so positive, kind, generous, productive— and the answer is God

I use the bible app plans and set reminders, slowly swit hed out my spotify playlist to worship/praise and i try to make God part of my solo activities.
So, i talk to God in the shower, on my way to catch a train, the moments when i have lunch alone and at my desk.
Invite God into the smallest details and try to remember that you can never really be apart from God, quiet time is to seek deeper intimacy

Carve out 5-10 minutes each morning is the best way - you can even start putting your thoughts together in the shower if you really have so little time. Prayer is meant to be something done consistently, not lengthily

Wake up, pray. Pray before every meeting. Pray before every meal. Pray before you drive. Pray before you sleep. Prayer doesn’t need to be long and elaborate, you just need to commune with the Lord all day long and meditate on His word. Now, Bible reading time is another story. That you need to carve out time for (speaking to myself on this one as well).

I moved to Philly from Chicago burbs for my current job in 2017. Love working for this company. They believe in employee growth and put in their time effort and money behind their current employees. 2020 has been though, I still have my job but have never missed my family this much. Since we’ve been working from home, I’ve stayed with family for couple of months. Now I don’t feel like living away from them. Just confused between family and career. Any advice?

I give massive kudos to all the parents out there juggling work and home life. But it’s starting to feel like I pulled the short stick by not having a kid. Really struggling to pick up all of the slack from all of the colleagues that do have kids and feel like the expectation is that parents should turn off while the rest are working from 7am - 2am everyday to make up for it.

Went from a big firm to work for a smaller firm. The people in the smaller firm are protective of their work and are good by their work too. I no longer feel chaos or stress. I am treated with respect and my schedule is more normal. I am even working more billable hours than before, but it feels like a seamless experience. I don’t work then past 5pm or anything out of the ordinary for this time of the year. I am so grateful!
