Listening to the Spirit of God invites each of into these worthy places for His purpose. I worked through Covey’s planner and I wrote out my schedule. Although, if something urgent came up, I would drop everything to go and meet a friend who is in trouble and I would pray with them and sit with them. I would not try and fix it, nor would I follow through with the
