Abba Father, teach me to avoid unnecessary distractions and serve You faithfully. Please forgive me when I choose possessions, pleasures, or popularity over devotion to You. Show me where to grow my prayer and time to hear Your whispers to do Your will. Lord, Lord, a myriad of cultural noise clamors, begs and seeks my attention. So much appeals to my senses, my time and focus! Please forgive me, Father, when I allow other things or people to detract from my time and attention
