These responsibilities may have multiplied since the loss of your loved one. "Right after the accident the main thing was to keep my children's lives as normal as possible," says Heidi. Make a list of your daily responsibilities and consider asking other family members and friends to take care of several items on your list. Then commit yourself daily to getting up and fulfilling each of your remaining responsibilities in a way that pleases God. "The plans of the diligent lead to profit as surely as haste leads to poverty" (Proverbs 21:5) Lord and Savior, when my responsibilities overwhelm me, help me to face them with a heart attitude that pleases You.
