Pray Without Ceasing = Pray without ceasing. Instead of setting aside time to talk to God, have ongoing, continual conversations with God—not formal, not long, not complicated, just from your heart—where you are, what you're thinking, what you're seeing, and what you're encountering at that moment.

Attentive Quotes

Quotes About Attentiveness and Distraction

  • Those who are silent, self-effacing and attentive become the recipients of confidences.
  • Knock, knock—distractions are knocking. Distractions are everywhere in today’s fast-paced age consumed by social media. Rarely do people put down their phones or tablets to see what’s right in front of them, let alone to contemplate what’s going on inside them. It is important to find some time to get away from the noise. Get rid of the door and simply meditate—evaluate the day’s experiences and reflect on all that life has to offer beyond a hard-bodied device.
  • “Comparing yourself to others is really just a needless distraction. The only one you should compare yourself to is you. Your mission is to become better today than you were yesterday. You do that by focusing on what you can do today to improve and grow.”― John C. Maxwell

Scriptures
1 Timothy 6:9-11 ESV But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation, into a snare, into many senseless and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs. But as for you, O man of God, flee these things. Pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, steadfastness, gentleness.
Exodus 30:37 Never use this formula to make this incense for yourselves. It is reserved for the Lord , and you must treat it as holy.
Hebrews 13:5 ESV Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”
Mark 15:1 And as soon as morning came, after formulating a plan, the chief priests, with the elders and scribes and the whole Sanhedrin, tied up Jesus, led him away, and handed him over to Pilate.
Matthew 6:7-13 “The world is full of so-called prayer warriors who are prayer-ignorant. They’re full of formulas and programs and advice, peddling techniques for getting what you want from God. Don’t fall for that nonsense. This is your Father you are dealing with, and he knows better than you what you need. With a God like this loving you, you can pray very simply. Like this: Our Father in heaven, Reveal who you are. Set the world right; Do what’s best— as above, so below. Keep us alive with three square meals. Keep us forgiven with you and forgiving others. Keep us safe from ourselves and the Devil. You’re in charge! You can do anything you want! You’re ablaze in beauty! Yes. Yes. Yes.
Matthew 7:13-14 “Don’t look for shortcuts to God. The market is flooded with surefire, easygoing formulas for a successful life that can be practiced in your spare time. Don’t fall for that stuff, even though crowds of people do. The way to life—to God!—is vigorous and requires total attention.

There Is Always An Answer = Always believe that there is an answer. There is nothing good about a problem if you don't think there is an answer, but if you believe there is an answer, you will look for it. When you focus on the answer and not the problem, you will be less overwhelmed and more grateful that there is a solution to the problem.
