Help Me Do My Duties in This World

O Lord, have mercy on me.  As I get closer to You, the desires of my flesh increasingly rise to distract me from Your Word and will.  I must be strong in You.  The desires are for me to do things that are not Christlike.  

I wonder, Lord, if these feelings from the flesh are from boredom.  I am wondering if I always need something new happening in my life.  If, after a short period of doing the same things over again, I need a change to do something else or the flesh acts up, I must learn how to remedy these feelings.  O Lord, have mercy on me.  Living in this world for me is so complex.  I’m always seeking something.  

Help me, Lord.  There is always something that needs attention and energy.  It is never just a time of relaxation or settling.  There is always something on the fire.  Help me be strong in doing my duties in this world.
