For Focus
Dear Lord,
As technology continues to advance exponentially and the world moves at an increased pace, our ability to remain focused has suffered tremendously. Tools and tech that are supposed to save us time end up deceiving us into thinking we can take on more and get more done. We are tethered to devices that are designed to distract us. We are acquainted with more people than ever, which also makes us aware of more problems and troubles than ever.
Help us, Lord. First, lead us to set time with you as our non-negotiable priority. Then, provide us with clarity, discernment, and direction, so that we are empowered to take control of our schedules and days. Finally, fix our attention on the things that we have determined matter most, and keep us focused on each responsibility we take on. Let us be present when we are with people and aid us in concentrating whenever a task is before us. In these ways, Lord, equip us to give our best fully to you and others.
In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
