I had a disappointment with myself yesterday. That happens a lot for people with ADHD. What I found most discouraging was that in everything related to this disappointment, I could see where ADHD gives me trouble. But I couldn’t say, “It’s not my fault. It’s my ADHD.” In fact, with this knowledge, I have more responsibility, not less.
Starting today, I’m going to have to find a better strategy for staying on focus. But the good thing is that today is a new day. The past is behind me. I cling to the following verse on a daily basis. It gives me hope because the Lord’s mercies are new every morning.
Lamentations 3:22-23 (KJV)
It is of the LORD’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.
ADD: Attention Deficit Devotional 
I find this to be so very true! When I become overwhelmed by all of the thoughts racing through my head, I have to stop and say, “God, I an overwhelmed and I need You to show me what to do first and how to get it done.” I find that when I place my dependency on Him, He gives me peace and guidance.
Hi Kimberly. Thanks for your comment. Sadly, I have neglected this blog for a long time. However, it’s been on my mind lately. I’m thinking about starting it up again, time allowing. Your comment is definitely pushing me in that direction!
Hi Samuel! I am glad to see you have looked at your blog recently. I am a christian who is just now going through the steps to get “officially” diagnosed for adhd (inattentive type), so I am really interested in the idea of how to stay close to God with adhd.
Perhaps instead of trying to keep up with the blog all by yourself, you could have this blog with posts from various christians who struggle with adhd writing in. If you could find 3 other people, you could each write something once a month — or even less…just a thought.
Thanks for your comment! Actually, in the very near future, I am going to start up with the posts again. However, your idea of guest posts is a good one. Perhaps after I get to know some fellow Christian ADHDers I will do that.
Anyway, I am I have copied this blog over to attentiondefecitdevotional.com. When I start up, I will mirror the two sites until everyone is over at the new address.
Blessings.
Sam
