Keep The Focus

Matthew 14:30: “…And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus.”

It’s very easy to get caught up in the hoopla that goes on around us. There’s always a rumor circulating, a lie being told, or gossip that’s so juicy that it tends to pulls us into it!
I’m concerned that some have forgotten and others never learned the importance of keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus. If we’re going to survive and be productive during these unstable and uncertain times, Jesus Christ must be our focus!

Because Peter had his eyes fixed on Jesus, he was able to get out the boat in the midst of the storm and walk on water. However, when he began to look at the winds and the waves around him, he began to sink. There are many things that are going on in both the Body of Christ and in the world in which we live. Today’s exhortation is to not get distracted by things that really don’t matter; keep your eyes focused on Jesus!

Let’s Pray:
“Father, in Jesus’ Name, we pray that we’ll keep our eyes focused on You and You alone. Don’t let us get distracted by the winds and waves of life, in Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

Daily Confession:
Father, I thank You for making me the head and not the tail
Above only and not beneath
The lender and not the borrower
The conqueror and not the conquered
I thank You for giving me all things that pertain unto life and godliness
And for delivering my life from death and destruction
So that I shall live and not die to declare your works

I thank You that no sickness shall live in my body today
For by Your Stripes I'm healed
I confess that I will not be stressed, oppressed, or depressed
Because You're keeping me in perfect peace as my mind is stayed on Thee

I confess that I will not be disorganized, distracted, or in disarray
But I will be focused on what God has called me to do
I confess that there shall not be any lack in my life today
For my God shall supply all my needs according to His Riches in Glory by Christ Jesus

Thank You that all things are working together for my good
And that You always cause me to triumph

This is the day that you have made
I will rejoice and be glad in it
In Jesus, Name, amen.

Daily Prayer:
“Oh, that You would bless me indeed,

and enlarge my territory,

that Your hand would be with me,

and that You would keep me from evil,

that I may not cause pain!”

The Prayer of Jabez, I Chronicles 4:10
