Staying Focus

Had a dream last night and woke up this morning asking God what it was about. He broke it down saying it meant that I need to stay in His covering. Just stay in His covering by staying focused, for me to just not lose focus.
            And that’s what I want to do. I want to stay focus on you. And I ain’t doing it just for you, I’m doing it for me which means I’m doing it for we, us, both, the two of us. Walking and conversing in a glorious, harmonious of unity. Never letting anything come in between you and me.
Never going to follow the lie again of being with a man or being with my earthly best of friends; being better than spending time with my heavenly daddy.
The author of life’s chapters, the soul glorious awesome creator of the heavens and the earth. The only one who could imagine this thing we call the universe. Who are the ones that we say “discovered” gravity and the Americas? Well they may have “discovered it” but they show didn’t create them.
We as humans sadly are so quick to give credit and praises to men and women, but when it comes to the actual one who made it possible we get real   quiet.
And I say we because like many, I am guilty of this tragedy. But thanks to the awesome plan of Yahwey, the Heavenly Father, the ultimate God Father, of sending his only son to take our place on the judgment seat for our wicked ways, we can certainly do better.
 Yes many many years ago when Jesus was walking around as a full blown human, going through the same things that we all do with life tragedies, blessings, and tempting, he stood his ground. Showing us that we too can overcome.
But besides just going through things we still go through, he went to a place that we don’t have to go to. Yeah that’s right the place we candidly say to others like “go to hell” or “I’m going to hell and I will see you there.” Well the Savior of this world really went there. But he didn’t stay no he came from out of the grave, away from the physical dead, and he wasn’t like a zombie, looking for prey. No instead he looked glorious, making me wish I was there when he came back the third day so I could be just around his holy ambience.
But anyways, I’m a little off topic, my actual topic was about staying focus. Staying focus on Him by doing things constantly that is pleasing to Him.
“Well LaShawndra”, some may ask, “of course God don’t expect you to be on your knees praying to Him every dang day. He knows your life is busy, he still going to love you, why would he judge you?”  I can only say “let’s take it to the father and look in His holy scriptures. The big book of answers for life’s questions.”                1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
                        “Be cheerful no matter what; pray all the time, thank God no matter what happens. This is the way God wants you who belong to Christ Jesus to live.”

            To me, there’s the answer right there. He does want us to pray to Him, and it’s all the time. But remember it doesn’t have to be this deep elaborate prayer in fact He gave us a blue print of how we can do it. He says in Matthew chapter 6 verses 5 through13:

                        “And when you come before God, don’t turn that into a theatrical production either. All these people making a regular show out of their prayers, hoping for stardom. Do you think God sits in a box seat? Here’s what I want you to do: Find a quiet, secluded place so you won’t be tempted to role-play before God. Just be there as simply and honestly as you can manage. The focus will shift from you to God, and you will begin to sense His grace. The world is so full of so called prayer warriors who are prayer ignorant. They’re full of formulas and programs and active, peddling techniques of getting what you want from God. Don’t fall for that nonsense. This is your father you are dealing with, and he knows better than you what you need with a God like this loving you, you can pray very simply like this:
                        Our Father in Heaven
                        Reveal who you are.
                        Set the world right;
                        Do what’s best
                        As above, so below
                        Keep us alive with three square meals
                        Keep us forgiven with you and forgiving others
                        Keep us safe from ourselves and the devil
                        You’re in charge!
                        You can do anything you want!
                        You’re ablaze in beauty:

            See like I said, praying is totally easy. But staying focus aint always easy, that’s why staying prayed up, getting His words in us every day, and communicating with other brother and sisters is essential to keep us following those Holy principles which in turn lets us stay focus on The Christ.

            And remember this “prayer thing” is something that He wants us to do every day.
