All Of Us Face Distractions So There Are Lessons ...

All of us face distractions so there are lessons here for all of us. The songwriter says though I’m tossed about with many a conflict and many a doubt, fightings within and fears without, O Lamb of God I come to you. So what’s the answer? Come to Jesus. Feel fear? Come to Jesus. Feel distracted? Come to Jesus. Don’t have peace? Come to Jesus.

In her book, a practical guide to prayer, Dorothy Haskins tells about a noted concert violinist. The violinist was asked what the secret was to her success. This is what she said. There are many things that used to demand my time. When I went to my room after breakfast, I made my bed, straightened the room, dusted and did whatever was necessary. When I finished my work, I then turned to my violin practice. That system prevented me from accomplishing what I should do on the violin. So I reversed things. I deliberately planned to neglect evrything else until my practice period was complete. And that program of planned neglect is the secret to my success.
