Prowler on the Loose

I read something today that caught my attention. I had heard it many times before, but really just didn't know what to do with it. Or you could say that I didn't feel like it applied to me. Today I have changed my mind. I stand corrected.
According to 1 Peter 5:8 "[My]enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour." So there is a prowler on the loose. And he is looking to devour me. Something that I find interesting- in the beginning of that verse- it says for me to "be self-controlled and alert". I have been none of these things lately. I have been so distracted with life that I have not been self-controlled, alert or anything but crazy. I have been running around like a chicken with my head cut off most of the time. I don't know about you, but I feel like I am an easy target right about now. Because lions can smell blood and they gravitate towards it.
With my life being a 3 ring circus lately I have had no time for anything important (like God for starters). I do not really know where to go from here. All I know is that I need help. Please pray for me. I am in need and I don't really know how to help myself at this point. There is still things to be done, and I want them done, but I also feel the need to spend time with God. I am torn between the physical that needs to be done and the spiritual that is pressing, but not visible. They both are important, I just need to be able to make time to fill my spiritual needs then God will take care of the physical, right? He always has in the past. I just have to trust Him with the here and now.
