Hi guys I’m back for another weekly check-in. Happy Friday or whatever day you decide to read this post. It’s been a full week of work and distraction for me if I’m honest. And speaking of situations I have a like something that I must share with my peeps. So thank you for coming to this space to listen. Let’s get into it.
So I just spoke with one of my close friends. And it went a little something like “Hey, I need to pray with you about this.” And so we pray. I do these same with her. Calling her as my on-guard prayer partner. How sweet. Then there are times I’m minding my business and I feel the need to pray for a specific person place or thing. And so I pray. Why am I sharing this? It’s not because I am this perfect prayer warrior that always ready. I’m not. I’m an everyday girl who decided to share her walk with Christ. But I’d like to be more.
I’d like to feel ready when a friend calls. Able to hear the voice of God clearly when ask me to pray for a family member. I want to be full of word and the Holy Spirit that I can pour into others. Though this has been easy for me at times, many times it’s been difficult. Why? Because this life is full of distractions and there are times I allow distractions to get the best of me. But looking into the face of Jesus and living a life of order and simplistic clarity is probably what’s best for me.
Am I alone, is anyone out there on this same battle with social media, the next event, the binge-worthy show, or that phone call that always goes too long? Though it’s easier said than done I know there is a victory somewhere in resisting the distraction of the day. For me, that victory looks like achieving what God has written in my books and being prepared to support those who depend on me to show up as full of Him instead of full of ease and entertainment. Does anyone feel me on that? If you do let me know. I just wanted to check in with you guys this week and share a little piece of my heart. Remember you too have those who depend on you to speak life into them by the spirit of the Lord, to cover them in prayer, or just be there with your sweet presence. We can’t afford to be ruled by distraction. Until next time, Kayla.
