Distractions

So, today was hectic. I missed my morning devo time with my father (God) and that just throws off the day. And the reason for this was a paper I needed to finish. Then throughout the day things kept getting in the way of me focusing on God. Drama going on with friends, tests, marching band prac, not having the money for dinner, Thomas, how I looked, and so on.
                  Towards the end of the day, after I got a minute to breathe, I realized what this all really was. Not just a normal thing, day, or schedule. No, it was the devil trying to get me to focus on the wrong things so that I couldn't shine God in my school and to decimate my relationship with him.
                  All the things I mentioned are pretty normal things to highschool students, right? We're all programmed to go left and right and jump through hoops, for what? A college. Great you have plans. Anyways, thing is, these distractions are so easy to fall for. They seem innocent enough. Just trying to do things we love and what's required of us. Most things don't even seem like they are distractions, and those are the easiest to fall for.
                   In the bible, it mentions focusing on God several times. This is the only way to live life to it's fullest, yet it's one of the hardest things to do this day and age. So pray for protection of your mind. Soon, it'll be easier to find what are distractions and make sure every day of your life is for God. That's our purpose anyways. I know it's something I pray for. Good luck.
