In our lives, when we become distracted by the frenzied pace of our everyday life, it becomes increasingly difficult to remained focused on heavenly things. Paul reminds us about the joy of remaining focused on Christ.

• We need to be a focused people: The gospel of the church is Christ crucified, our denominational differences can’t eclipse our focus.
• We need to have a prayer focus: Do not be anxious about anything, when we focus on prayer we receive peace from God.
• We need to have a praise focus: Focus on the positive aspect of things, praising God through all situations. If you aren’t experiencing peace in your life ask yourself the question; where is your focus.
