"But Martha was distracted..." (Luke 10:40 NIV)
"But Martha was preoccupied..." (CEB)
"But Martha was pulled away..."  (MSG)

I have to confess to you that lately, I've been like Martha rather than Mary. I've been distracted, preoccupied, and pulled away. Worries, responsibilities, demands, work, planning, and other things have pulled me away from Jesus. I've been diligent to keep my prayer time and checked the box on my Scripture reading list, but my mind and my heart have been all over the map.

How about you? Is anything distracting you from Jesus right now?

In this week ahead, let's confess our distractions and place them at the feet of Jesus. Let's surrender them - burdens, worries and all - to whom they belong. Let's hear again the call to be still and know that He is God.

I'm praying for you! Thank you for praying for me!
