Yesterday morning at church during a prayer before the service, I prayed to myself that God would remove any distractions that would hinder us from worshiping. I felt like God replied to me that He wouldn't do that, but rather that I need to learn to look past the distractions and look to Him. There will always be things in this life that can distract us. If He removed one distraction, but our focus is upon distractions rather than on God, then pretty soon we will be distracted by something else because we live in an imperfect world. We need to be focused upon Jesus and leave the other stuff where it is.
Hebrews 12:1-2 Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
