Distractions
We live in very distracting times, so it’s very easy to get distracted from prayer. Whether it’s the text message ding, a new work message or your latest facebook alerts, all of these things take attention away from God. You may find yourself getting so caught up in what’s going on around you that you begin to forget about or hold off on prayer, telling yourself “just for now”. Then, that “just for now” becomes a daily lack of communication with God. If you find yourself super distracted, take some time to acknowledge what’s going on and what’s missing from your space. Once you put what’s missing into existence, you can then focus on raising these issues back up to God, and reestablish prayer in your life.
