Morning by Morning, June 3, 2026 — “Close the Doors to Distractions”

 

Morning by Morning, June 3, 2026 — “Close the Doors to Distractions


Good morning, Lord Jesus. I speak out Your name and listen for Your leading to begin my day in the communion of prayer with You (John 10:27). …


As I wait, I hear these word comes to my heart: “Close the doors to distractions.” …


Yes, Lord. And this written Word comes to mind in confirmation and development of what I believe I’m hearing as Your spoken word:


“You therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. And the things that you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also. You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. No one engaged in warfare entangles himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who enlisted him as a soldier. And also if anyone competes in athletics, he is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules. The hardworking farmer must be first to partake of the crops. Consider what I say, and may the Lord give you understanding in all things” (2 Timothy 2:1-7).


The “distractions” are the entanglements “with the affairs of this life” that steal away my time and dilute my focus and divert my path from what is my calling and commissioning in Your will for my life. Forgive me for when I’ve given in to those distractions.


Free me from trifling away my time on meaningless things, even as You allow me the grace of Your rest and renewal. Renew my focus. Reenergize my passion. Realign my heart with Yours, my thoughts with Yours. Shut the doors to my distractions and open the doors to my destiny in You, “that (I) may know what is the hope of (Your) calling” for me in my life during this season (Ephesians 1:18). “For we are (Your) workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which (You) prepared beforehand that we should walk in them” (Ephesians 2:10). In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
