It was really nice having the past few days off for Thanksgiving. It gave me the the opportunity to realign myself and focus on personal growth. I’ve been struggling with work distractions the past few months and have pushed God to the side. Maybe you struggle with distractions in a different area – it could be an obsession with social media, netflix binging, raising your children, traveling etc. It doesn’t really matter what the distraction is, all that matters is that it is keeping you from God.
We are meant for so much more than the day to day. God calls each and every one of us to live out His purpose. He wants us to be happy, healthy, and free of anxiety and fear. As I write this, I’m thinking how God wants to connect with us. Start writing down the vision God has for you. There is something powerful about seeing this vision written. I promise you are more than just an employee, mom, grandmother, sister, son, father, brother, student etc.
Take a moment and ask God, “What word do you have for me today, Lord?” Remember, everyone has the same amount of time in the day, so what will you spend your time doing?
I want you to say this prayer over yourself today…”Lord, I struggle with distractions in my life. I pray that you give me the strength to push aside the distractions to seek you. I want to know you more, Lord. Help me to align my life and mind to your Word. I know that I am called and that I am loved. Help me to see that I am those things, Lord. It’s easy to become consumed with the day to day, but I am meant for so much more. Lord, give me vision, wisdom, and peace today. Thank you Jesus. Amen.”
