Sidetracked

I always seem to be unfocused. I try to center my life.  I try to focus it on what I find most important. God. But for some reason, I always seem to become sidetracked. I say; "I want God to be the center of my life", but then I become distant from Him. Although He is always with me, I do not make Him my main focus. I tend to get "caught-up" with daily life. I get tangled within what society has planned for me and lose focus on what is truly important. God should always be the focus of my actions. Lately, the pressure to fit in with society has overcome me. My actions try to stay in-sync with what the media and my peers are doing. The influence of society and my peers should not drive me away from my main focus-God.  The influence God has on my life, should drive me away from some of the actions of society and my peers. I need to have God be my center, so that I am able to wipe away anything that would be a distraction.

....

Ha, and while I re-read this post, I can see how disorganized and unfocused I really am.....

God needs to be the center of my life.
I want to live my life for HIM, not for myself.
I pray that I do not become sidetracked, from God, so easily.

"Praise our God, O people, let the sound of his praise be heard; he has preserved our lives and kept our feet from slipping. For you, O God, tested us; you refined us like silver" Psalm 66:8-10
