I read something this morning on an instagram page I follow - "When you pray, keep your eyes on God and not on your problem". Now that can be hard - especially when your problem is one of those that feels like it keeps jumping up and smacking you in the face as you try and pray. Kind of like that annoying defence person bouncing around in front of you when you're trying to shoot for a goal! It's hard to see past them sometimes! But if you focus on that annoyance, you'll never shoot for or get to that goal! You've got to be looking past them to make good that shot!
Just like when you're praying. Somehow, when you focus on God, and his goodness, and deepest love and compassion and forever-with-you-ness... somehow the rest seems to just melt away into insignificance. A good reminder for me this morning... 'focus on God, not the problem'. If you focus on the problem it begins to loom larger than life! But if you focus on God, He does! ❤️
