Psalm 138:8
The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me; your steadfast love, O Lord, endures forever. Do not forsake the work of your hands.
*      *     *      *      *      *       *       *
I have a list of things to do.  When I accomplish each task, I strike through it with my pen.  Then the list looks messy to me, I make a new list with the same things on it. When I don't want to do anything on the list, I hide it under a pile of urgent things so that I can blame the urgent things for keeping me from accomplishing my list. I've read books, articles and gone to seminars on time management.  In my heart of hearts, I squirm with doubt that I am accomplishing my purpose.  All the while, God is making it so.  I can cross off "justify your existence" from my to-do list.  Jesus did it for me. I can live with that. 
*     *      *      *      *     *      *      *
Lift me up, Lord, so that I can see what you see.  Amen.
