Fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy
set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at
the right hand of the throne of God." - Hebrews 12:2
When you run a race there is only one thing that matters
- crossing the finish line. The runner gives his full attention to the finish
line. If he gets distracted, begins worrying about how others are doing, or
looks into the stands, he is done for.
There are many things that attempt
to draw our attention, but success is found only as we focus on Christ. If we
take our eyes off Christ, we open ourselves up to all sorts of
deceptions.
The only way to follow Christ is to fix our attention on
Him. If we are going to follow Christ, we have to be watching and listening for
what He has to say and where He leads. There are so many shiny objects that can
grab our attention. If we don't fix our attention on Christ, we will be
distracted.
Fixing our eyes implies that we are putting our full
attention on Him. This means we have a single focus - the Lord Jesus.
As
you pray for eddie today, pray that he will place his complete attention on
Christ. Pray that he will follow Christ wherever He leads. Ask the Lord to help
him keep his eyes on Christ and avoid the distractions that are thrown his
way.
Father, I pray that
eddie can keep his total focus on You. I pray that he runs toward You the way an
athlete runs toward the finish line. I ask that You help him to avoid all the
distractions that come his way, and help him to focus on You.
In Jesus
Name,
Amen
eddie, today I am praying that you run after Christ with
all your heart. I am praying that you focus on Christ and that you never take
your eyes off Him. I am asking God to help you avoid all the distractions that
Satan throws at you, so you can be completely focus on Christ. love, denise

I believe God heard your prayer. In His perfect time, i believe eddie will turn to Christ and give his full attetion to Him. Stay in faith. It will come to pass.
Praying for you, Denise. Prayer is the best thing we can do, then believe and trust God to work it all out.
It worked for me when we were first married. I did not give up praying and after a while he finally repented and has never turned back. I'm praying the same for you and Eddie.
