Everyday: Growing in Faith预览

Staying focused when you’re praying can be tough! Don’t we all lose focus from time to time? Sure, it can be hard to keep our attention fixed on God when we’re praying because life is full of distractions. So, try this: Choose one word that reminds you of God. Maybe it’s something like peace, or joy, or strength, or faithful. As you pray, use that word to draw your attention back to God. When your mind starts to drift toward homework or Netflix, or what you’re eating for dinner, or the text you need to send a friend, say that word aloud. Let it serve as a reminder to get your mind back on track and your focus back on connecting with God in prayer.

Every day this week, spend a few minutes in prayer. Choose a different word that reminds you of God each day to shift your focus back to God in prayer and to remind you of who God is.
