Dealing with Distractions

We live with an infinite number of things scrambling for our attention each day. We have ongoing commitments to family and friends. Work often creeps past our work day and into our private life. Television, internet, and mobile devices consume whatever spare time is left between the moments our eyes open and close at the beginning and end of each day.

Where does God fit into a life filled with obligations and distractions? Jesus was also frequently distracted from spending time alone with his heavenly Father. Even good things, such as teaching and feeding people, sometimes threatened to curtail much-needed time in prayer.

If Jesus can get distracted by the everyday stuff of life, how much more important is it for us to find time for God? Join us for online worship this Sunday, where we’ll find some ways to create space for prayer.

Blessings,
Pastor Paul Cook
