 a prayer for focus by Emma Dancy Colossians 3 verse 2 says set your mind on things above not on Earthly things focus is something we could all use more of in our daily lives whether it is keeping our mine fixed and what we are working on and Zoning into the details that we need to continue focusing on our children or grandchildren who are present to show them how much we care or focusing on the sermon in church on Sunday the enemy loves to get us distracted not only in small areas like the ones mentioned but also in a larger way he wants us to be thinking with temporary mindsets however in Colossians 3 verse to God calls us to put our thoughts towards things above
 not worldly things
 today as we pray and ask the Lord for Focus may we each have a renewed sense of what is eternally significant and purposeful maybe not miss the opportunities to see each day as a mission field for eternity may we focus on the mission at hand with confidence let's pray
 Lord over my mind I need you to help me today give me Clarity and strength to think on things of you and not of My Flesh there are so many things competing for my attention help me to remember that the task and situations at hand are temporary remind my soul of what is spiritually significant Reveal Your Will and your purpose is to me and help me to live them out by your spirit
 God you say in Philippians 4 verse 8 finally brothers and sisters whatever is true whatever is Noble whatever is right whatever is pure whatever is lovely whatever is admirable if anything is excellent or praiseworthy think about such things please enable my mind to think on the things of you give me thoughts that are honorable and focused on your love when I'm tempted to stray redirect my thought patterns to bring you glory
 1st Peter 5:8 says be alert and of sober mind your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour
 God I know that one of the enemies favorite places of attack is on the mind of a Believer he did not take our souls so she loves to get to our heads with lies give me the armor of you to protect me from his schemes guard my mind and help me to take every thought captive to you help me to not live in a scattered way but on the solid rock that is to you be my steady and remind me of your scriptures when I am tempted to stray in my thinking renew my mind with the truth of your word
 Jesus as I desire to serve you and focus on your purposes give me a sense of your presents allow me to fix my eyes on you I am not strong enough to run this race but in your power I can keep my focus on the finish line of Faith you say in Philippians 3 verse 14 I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus when I am tempted by laziness apathy your selfishness remind me of the importance of the mission at hand to sharing the gospel with the world help me to press on by the strength of your spirit to accomplish all that I need to in your name or mine me how you are working and then threw me even in the Simplicity of the everyday and counters moments that seem insignificant you use them For Your Glory
 times when I feel like it is hard to stay on Mission redirect me with your word and through your spirit stay the course thank you for your great gift of focus guide me to have your mindset each and every day when I am attacked with distractions and Scattered and thought still my soul and slow my mind from wandering give me the determination and the discipline that I need to accomplish your will and you're powerful name I pray Jesus amen
