Distractible

 

I am pretty distractible these days.  I am trying to tick off my to-do list items and I keep getting off track.  I also have trouble focusing on praying, Father.  

I don't even know where to begin.  Is that one of the symptoms of distractibility?  I am waiting for this YouTube to finish so that I can knock off my Duolingo, where I am pretty far behind.  

(And I moved up 14 places!  Amazing what focus can do.  And a 2x boost.)

I admit to preoccupation with the political climate.  I have a great fear and disappointment that reason and truth do NOT penetrate the blindness of those people who are believing lies.  Why is that, Abba?  Can You help me to understand what is going on?

A few Bible verses are coming to mind...

• 2 Corinthians 4:4
• John 12:40
• 1 John 2:11

(For some reason, being at the car dealership is blocking my access to certain websites, including those where I could retrieve these verses.)

But I will finish for now, Father, since my car will be ready soonish.  Thanks for tolerating my distractibility.  You know I love You!  (Shades of Peter the apostle.)

Updated 02/23/24 with the Bible verses!

• 2 Corinthians 4:4 The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.
• John 12:40 (from Isaiah 6:10) "He has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts, so that can neither see with their eyes, nor understand with their hearts, nor turn--and I would heal them."
• 1 John 2:11 But anyone who hates a brother or sister is in the darkness and walks around in the darkness.  They do not know where they are going, because the darkness has blinded them.
