Morning Prayer, Friday, September 6, 2024 - WORD(S) OF THE DAY: DISTRACTIONS

Father God, thank You for redirecting me away from distractions that can that my life out of balance.  Amen

“No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it."  (I Corinthians 10:13)

“Stop getting distracted by things that have nothing to do with your purpose. In fact, don’t blame the distractions.  Improve your focus.”  There are moments in life when we're trying to stay focused and the devil decides to throw distractions our way. These distractions can cause us to miss out on or delay our destiny. For example, imagine a single woman who is on a journey to seek God. Suddenly, she meets a man who is saying all the right things, and her attention shifts completely to him. Everything in her life has its focus on him.  Months later, she realizes he's not the right one for her. Now she's dealing with a broken heart and a whirlwind of emotions. It will take her some time to get back on track.  One thing I've learned to do when potential distractions pop up in my life is to ask God to remove them quickly if they're not meant for me. And let me tell you, it works every time. God is all about protecting our hearts and minds, like a caring parent. I'm so grateful for that because sometimes, I just don't know what's best for me. I need to the guidance and direction He offers.
