Distractions
We live in a society where the need to focus on the distractions that reside in this world is so normalized. It isn't just the external distractions we focus on (social media, news outlets, what others are doing, etc.); we tend to get caught up with internal distractions (fear, resentment, doubt, discouragement, negative self-talk, et al.) as well. As Christians, we need to understand that distraction is one of the enemy's main tactics when it comes to steering you away from the path God established for you. 1 Peter 5:8 states that the enemy "prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour" and lions typically target the weakest link while hunting. In the same way, us Christians are more susceptible to spiritual attacks whenever we are weakened by the distractions of this world. If you are struggling with distraction, I would like for you to do one simple thing: replace all of your distractions with the things of God. Isaiah 26:3 states that the Lord will "will keep in perfect peace
all who trust in [Him and] all whose thoughts are fixed on [Him]."
Here's a video in case you might need more info. God bless.
