bow my head, close my eyes, lace my fingers together and begin to pray. “Dear Lord, I’m coming to you today as your child. I recognize your power and goodness. . .” Suddenly, my eyes snap open. I remember DAILY Ithat my son hasn’t finished his history project, which is due the next day. I recall that he has an after-school basketball game, and I imagine him awake until midnight finishing his schoolwork. This leads me to worry that his fatigue will put him at risk for the flu! C. S. Lewis wrote about distractions during prayer in his book The Screwtape Letters. He noted that when PATH our minds wander, we tend to use willpower to steer ourselves back to our original prayer. Lewis concluded, though, that it was better to accept “the distraction as [our] present problem and [lay] that before [God] and make it the main theme of [our] prayers.” Being Real with God A persistent worry or even a sinful thought that disrupts a prayer may become the centerpiece of our dis- cussion with God. God wants us to be real as we talk with Him and open up about our deepest concerns, fears, BIBLE READ: 1 PETER 5:6–10 and struggles. He is not surprised by anything we mention. His interest in us is like the attention we would receive from a close friend. That’s why we’re encouraged to give all of our worries and cares to God—because THOUGHT FOR TODAY: He cares for us (1 Peter 5:7). Cast all your anxiety on him because Dear God, You know what’s on my mind today. Help me to experience the peace he cares for you. that comes from sharing my concerns with You. ~ 1 Peter 5:7 Distractions don’t have to derail our prayers.
