Prayer Against Distraction

Wake up, go to work, eat, sleep, repeat..... life goes round and round like a hamster wheel. We often find ourselves lost in the realms of daily lives and we tend to get so distracted that we forget to gravitate toward God.

I struggle to devote time to God. Sometimes, unplugging from social media and taking time to rest is a good way to decompress from the stress and distraction of life. Keeping the Sabbath is a great way to start and try dedicating your mornings or evenings to God. For example, instead of grabbing the phone to check social media; start your day with prayer and a Bible scripture. Throughout your day, try taking deep breaths and listening to positive music/gospel. In the evening, you can take time to talk to God before you go to sleep.

Don't let the distractions of your daily life keep you from seeking God. Use this prayer below as a guide to help you pray against distractions and stressors in your life.

God, I find myself stuck in a loop, I'm unable to be productive as I want to be, nor am I able to receive your Holy Words and pray to you consistently as I once did. I'm lost, exhausted, and I feel like I'm slipping from your hands.

Father, hold me tight and bring me back closer to you. Lord, I rebuke any and every spirit of distraction from me. God open your eyes and allow me to see your greatness and love.

Father, I want to dwell in your presence. I want to continually seek an intimate relationship with you and stay consistent in my studying, praying, and worshipping.

Heavenly Father, remove these blinders and accept me back into your loving arms.

All these things, I pray in Jesus Christ's Holy Name

Amen.

Move In Silence

M-I-S, so that you won't "miss" your opportunity! When working on things and creating ideas, we are often excited to share the great news from the mountain tops. Granted, there is nothing wrong with being proud of your works nor is there wrong with wanting to share them with your circle. But we have to be mindful of the idea that not everyone is celebrating with you. Have you ever had a brilliant idea or exciting new thing happen in your life and you immediately shared it via social media or by word-of-mouth? Remember, how you had one or more persons who said some hurtful things or how when these got hard, you felt too embarrassed to mention it out of fear of more judgment? We have all experienced this at some point in our lives and it sucks. You should be able to share the news about a new relationship, job opportunity, baby, business idea, etc. But face it, we all have enemies plotting against us in jealousy. How do you avoid missing your unique and wonder...

The Curse Breaker

"To remove generational curses, we must pray for generational prosperity." Whether we are aware of it or not, many of us have struggled with the bondage of our ancestors' trauma (or as we like to call it.... generational curses). If addiction, poverty, abuse, grievance, or secrets is something familiar in your family, then I'm sure, you're very determined and dedicated to breaking those curses from yourself and the next generation to come. As "curse breakers" we might find ourselves cutting ties, setting necessary boundaries, and praying that those covenants of our ancestors are broken from us. And as you pray, I ask that you take heed of what you're praying for. Allow me to explain clearly, what I mean by knowing "what you are praying for. If the abuse was something prevalent in your family lineage, then you need to first rebuke abuse but also pray for the spirit of mental and spiritual healing to be loose onto you and your family. I...

The Seed

A seed in the dirt is weary and agitated about the soil in which he lives in currently. I want out the seed cries, but the gardener responds "no, not yet." The seed continues to cry out for a new change of scenery but the gardener continues to do his labor. One day, the seed begins to become tired and stopped his crying. "Okay, I'll trust you'll give me a purpose, but I'm tired of fighting against you." The gardener smiled and continued to do his labor. Weeks go by and the little seed began to sprout. Finally, the seed was seeing some changes. Later on, the seed was sprouting roots in solid ground, and it began to grow upward to the sky. Small he was, but vast he grew bearing many fruits and branches. The seed grew into a big and mighty tree and he remembered the gardener that was near him. "What are you doing?" The tree asked. "I'm watering the seeds" the gardener answered. "Why? Asked the tree. The gardener smi...
