How to Focus on God

How to Focus on God

It can be hard to focus on God sometimes. There are seasons when we are busy, exhausted, and distracted. So, how can we keep our focus on God? Here are my top tips to keep God at the top of your mind and the center of your heart.

1. Pray Continually. Whenever you meet somebody new, say a prayer for them. When you hear a siren, say a prayer. When something good happens, send up a praise. Thank God that you made it home safely. Pray for your parents or you kids. Pray for your tests and your football games. Pray for safety, health, love, patience, and peace. Be in constant communication with God.
2. Go on a date with God. Plan time into your schedule daily, or even weekly, to be with God. Write it down on your calendar or in your agenda. Make it a time where you sit in God’s presence and focus in on what he is trying to tell you. Don’t let yourself out of it, you wouldn’t cancel a coffee date with your friends, so don’t cancel on God.
3. Be in Community. Attend a church, bible study, or small group. Having people to learn from and walk alongside is so important in keeping yourself accountable. Being at church or a bible study helps you to deepen your understanding of God and his word. Joining a small group will put you with like minded people who can help you along your faith journey.
4. Have a daily devotional. You can get a book or an app that will give you a reading each day. This helps you to refocus on God each day, as well as giving you something specific to think about that day. Daily bible readings/verses can do the same thing. Make sure you dive into the word of God daily, even if it is for just one verse.
5. Listen to Christian music. Hearing people praising our marvelous God through song is a great way to focus on God. It takes little effort, but has a huge effect. There is so much fabulous music out there, so find a genre you like and get listening. You will be amazed at the difference it can make!
