No, you aren't "behind in life".

But, it's okay to grieve the time you spent surviving. The time spent trying to figure out what was wrong. The time spent healing to become a person again.

It wasn't your fault.

“I thought about how you’re shaped so much by the people who surround you, and how careful you have to be in choosing them for this exact reason, and then I thought, despite all that, in the end maybe you have to lose them all in order to truly find yourself.”

I always want to tell you I remember you but I can’t ☹️

Lord, remind me how brief my time on earth will be... You have made my life no longer than the width of my hand. My entire lifetime is just a moment to you; at best, each of us is but a breath. We are merely moving shadows, and all our busy rushing ends in nothing. We heap up wealth, not knowing who will spend it. And so, Lord, where do I put my hope? My only hope is in you.

Psalm 39:4-7

We don’t know how many days we have left.  How we spend them is critical. The question is, will we live those days for Christ? If we do, He will make our lives extraordinary.  He will make our life worth living!

So, God, we pray that you would give us a right perspective of our lives. Help us to live today in light of eternity, and help us, we pray, to measure our days. To make them count for Your glory. In Jesus'name, Amen.
