The Importance of Being There
I have much to write to you, but I do not want to use paper and ink. Instead, I hope to visit you and talk with you face to face, so that our joy may be complete.—2 John 1:12 (NIV)

Deliver Me from Distraction
And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.—Mark 4:19 (KJV)
What distractions take up your time and lead you to forget about making devotion a priority in your life? Is it television, social media, or your cell phone? Identify what is getting in the way of spending time with God. Make a commitment to nurture your faith. Invest in your spirit.
Heavenly Father, help me build quiet time into my day so I can hear You.
