Distractions are all around us, especially for ADHDers. We are distracted by our phones, YouTube or TikToc videos, or even that sock that just doesn’t feel right.

Personally, I feel like there’s a busy part of my brain that craves input, and looking for that input can keep me from attending to my tasks. Sometime

Often I find that I have to physically remove all the distractions from my office. I close the door and turn off the music. I do not keep my phone in my office. Ever. The busy part of my brain hates the silence…so much so that it starts looking for input from anything. If the only thing available for input is my task, then it gets the input from my task.

This reminds me of Proverbs 4:24-36 (NLT)

Look straight ahead, and fix your eyes on what lies before you. Mark out a straight path for your feet; stay on the safe path.

Not only do we get distracted from our tasks, we can get distracted from our relationship with Christ. What is distracting you right now? Sometimes we need to set something aside, even if it just for a short time, to put all our attention on God.
