Focus

This morning I sat down to enjoy the National Prayer Summit leading into #GC19 and I had difficulty concentrating. Three things are keeping me from giving my full attention; I am tired, I am cold, I am hungry. 

.

. 

Yet, as I strive to focus, to listen, and to pray this morning, it occurs to me that these are not simply physical struggles for me right now. 

.

.

I am spiritually tired. O God wake me up to Your desire for my life and You desire for Your Church. 

.

I am spiritually cold. O God light the “fire” of Your Holy Spirit within me, my prayers, and Your ministry through me.

.

I am spiritually hungry. O God feed me through Your Word, Your Spirit, and Your Church.

.

What might be keeping you from focusing, hearing, and responding to God today?
