Letting Go of the Distractions

Well this is where I find myself today, how about you? Are you needing to let go of all the distractions around you?

I have a new appreciation for when Jesus went off to be alone so he could pray. I find myself in need of that same quiet prayer time myself. I think of the weight I have felt at times and that is minuscule compared to the weight of the world that Jesus carried.

Think of what it must have been like for him to have so many people pulling at him and wanting him to heal them. How exhausting that must have been, can you imagine? Just think about that for a moment.

Luke 5:16 But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed.

I know Jesus has an amazing plan and I am trying to follow his lead, but the devil is throwing every distraction he can at me. Friends, if you find yourself in this very place, I encourage you to withdraw to a quiet place and pray! So often we just need to reprioritize our life and by doing so we are able to refocus on what is important and to let go of what isn't.

The world is full of distractions that will try to knock us off course, I pray God will continue to strengthen you for the journey that lies ahead of you!
