    To stay focused in life and do the work God has entrusted us, we must constantly pose the questions of purpose and priority. We must do what is needful, and make time for God in solitude.

    Mark 1:35-39 How to STAY FOCUSED in Life What prevents us from living our life to the fullest? Distractions. 1. We lost sense of our purpose in what we are doing - gotten into a rut and not fully aware of what we are really trying to achieve. 2. We lost touch with our priorities - not clear what ...read more
