We must focus our life on God

3 Habits That Will Help Us Keep Focused On God

1. Daily focus on how great God is.
    

2. Daily talk to God.
   “Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank Him for all He has done. If you do this, you will experience God’s peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand. Philippians 4:6-7(NLT)

3. Daily seek God’s will.

   “Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek His will in all you do, and He will direct your paths.” Proverbs 3:5-6 (NLT)

   “I am not all I should be….” Philippians 3:13

   I am not all I should be, but I am focusing all my energies on this one thing; Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I strain to reach the end of the race and receive the prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us up to heaven.” Philippians 3:13-14 (NLT)
