This is such a wonderful article. This morning we had devotion in my nursing class and a student decided to read Mathew 6:33. She related it to the crazy lives of nursing students and how sometimes we are so concerned with school and helping others that we forget to focus on God. He is our first priority! Then when I checked my e-mail after class, I thought it was crazy to find your article on the same verse.
Thank you for your advice!

This article is so true. I’ve been faced with it a lot lately. God has shown me to give love to all the people around me even if I don’t agree with them entirely. One thing I kept telling God was what do you want me to say to them and what can I do. (I didn’t wanna be awkward and tell people hey I saw you sitting by yourself thats why I came to show you love) God gave me this wonderful verse in Mark 13:11 which says ” Whenever you are arrested and brought to trial, do not worry beforehand about what to say. Just say whatever is given you at the time, for it is not you speaking, but the Holy Spirit.” This was a huge encouragement to me and I hope it helps others. This verse has helped me stay focus and remember that I don’t have to be scarred because God is there. ( and i thank God that he is always there “AMEN”)

Thank you, focus is hard, but I have made it my habit, that every morning when I wake up, I sit down and read my favorite devotional book and the bible and pray. This usually takes me about 25 min. Some of you may think that this is way too long and you’d rather sleep, but I encourage you to try, because, when you spend time with God, it gives you more time later in the day. Just try it.

Ana, I completely agree with you. A couple of minutes ago, I was tempted to indulge in sin, but I prayed to God and asked that my focus be placed back on him and that he give me the strength to flee from this temptation. After God helped me, I come on this site and low and behold, the topic for today is staying focused on God. I pray that God helps us all to learn to put all of our focus on God.

Thank you for writing this. It really “hit home” for me. I need to work so much on focusing on the right things, the positive ones instead of the ones that are slowing me down or making life hard. Life is sometimes so hard but by looking to the positive it makes it easier. I have had so much happen during the last year but by focusing on what these experiences have taught me makes it easier to move on instead of thinking on the things that I have lost and the things that are hard to understand and deal with. Your articles always inspire me so much

Focus is the hardest thing to do in myself. Sometimes I’m distracted with many things, i keep doing stuff that makes me busy like my friends, spending many hours watching dvds and social networking sites instead of reading the bible and praying and sharing the word of God. Based on my faith, I know God has always keep track on me and i’m so blessed that i have christian family, I know God has bigger plans for me. And as i read the article that was send to me, now i know I must focused on the things that God wants and Focusing the will of God and focusing the thing that I will be excellent.

I think it’s crazy how every time I read a devotion it’s closely linked to how I have been feeling throughout the day or something I’ve been thinking about throughout the week. Each one of these devotions seem as if they were meant for me to read that day!
