Being able to focus is something I have often struggled with. Growing up studying for a test was almost near impossible. I would often have to set down and write things out multiple times in order for it to just simply stick. As an adult I was diagnosed with A.D.D. Now that I'm older, nothing much has changed with that, only that it seems to have gotten harder in some areas. It is what I feel the enemy often uses as a tactic against me, but I have seen God's mercy and grace in it.
But here lately, I have felt the warning in my spirit to not continue to allow myself to get distracted. It is something the enemy is using in this season to keep God's children from hearing from Him more clearly and from receiving fresh revelation and insight to new tactics in how to conquer our giants that are in the land. He has been reminding me that in this new season we have to push past the noise, our feelings and emotions, and really dig deep in remaining rooted in Him.
This will sometimes look like putting the phone or computer down and stepping away from social media and picking up the word instead. It will look like waking up at 5am before everyone else to just set at His feet and talk to Him. I have often spoken about the need to step away because it is what Jesus did from time to time after spending certain amount of time with large crowds. And I feel I am in that need to pull away (not isolate) for a few just to get back on track, to hear Him more clearly, to be refilled, and rested. So if you see that I am not as active on my socials and other things this is why. I would like to encourage each person that reads this to just take some time away with Jesus and remember to not get so caught up in the noise and the tactics of the enemy in being so distracted to where you can no longer hear His voice or see Him. Amazing things can come from the secret place.
