How do I focus on God when there are so many distractions?
Focus requires a deliberate, intentional action on our part. It requires saying no to the things that are not of God.
- First, commit yourself to God and turn from everything else. “In all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.” Proverbs 3:6
- Second, take inventory of your thoughts. What are you thinking about? The enemy often brings distractions and cares of the world to mind; before we know it, we are off doing something else. “Set your mind on things above, not on the things of the earth.” (Col 3:2)
- Third, Focus: “Let your eyes look straight ahead; fix your gaze directly before you. Give careful thought to the paths for your feet and be steadfast in all your ways.” Proverbs 4:25-26
- Lastly, “Be always on the watch, and pray ” Luke 21:35
