Therefore, prepare your minds for action; be self-controlled; set your hope fully on the grace to be given you when Jesus Christ is revealed.
I so try to prepare my mind to focus on God and what I need to do. Reading isn't an easy task for me, it is just SOOOO boring. I do it to the best of my ability, but I find my mind wandering. I have been trying to read the book Made to Crave. It is a great book by Lysa TerKeurst that works on helping you focus on God instead of food or whatever you body craves in order to overcome addiction. I have been reading it for a while and can't get very far very fast. I have been reading in the van taking Steven to and from school. I finally decided to use my ipod to listen to while I read. It works great! But then Steven comes along. I just have a hard time keeping track of where I am and wanting to continue to read when we start talking Sesame Street. Very, very hard to concentrate after singing I'm an Aardvark. Of course then you throw in all of the other things he likes to get my attention about. However, the little voice is there that little voice you can't ignore saying get back to the reading. It is like when I "ignore" Steven. I may not look at him, but I think he knows he has my attention. It is the same with God. We may try to "ignore" God, but he knows that we are aware of Him and what we need to do. All I can say is pray for me and others to be blessed with ability to focus.
God Bless,
