Bible verses about focusing on

God
Are you focusing in your prayer life? Is
focusing on the Lord a struggle for you? Is
there something holding you back from the
Lord? Do you remember the times when you
used to be on fire for God?

Do you remember the days when you looked

forward to worshiping the Lord? Are you
easily distracted in worship?

Are you losing the fight that you once had

and if so are you willing to fight for God? If
you don’t fight for more of Him you’re going
to lose Him.

Once you start losing the presence of God

you have to fight. It’s time to make war!

Quotes

“What consumes your mind controls your

life.”
“Don’t focus on your adversaries. Focus
on God’s possibilities.”
“True faith is keeping your eyes on God
when the world around you is falling
apart.”
“Instead of thinking about how hard the
test is, we can instead focus on asking
the Lord to enlarge our understanding.”
Crystal McDowell
“The more you focus on yourself, the
more distracted you will be from the
proper path. The more you know Him and
commune with Him, the more the Spirit
will make you like Him. The more you are
like Him, the better you will understand
His utter sufficiency for all of life’s
difficulties. And that is the only way to
know real satisfaction.” John MacArthur

Are you focusing in worship?

You can yell like a lion and not say one thing
to God. You can scream and pray boldly, but
your prayer still won’t touch Heaven.
Examine yourself! Are you just throwing
words around or are you focusing? God
looks at the heart. There are people who can
ramble and say repetitive things and not
think about God once. Does your heart align
with the words that come out of your mouth?

Are you looking to God or are you praying to

Him while your mind is on other things? You
have to fight this. This doesn’t only apply to
worship, but this also applies to all religious
activities. We can serve at church while our
hearts are away from the Lord. I’ve struggled
with this. Sometimes you have to sit in prayer
for an hour until your heart is aligned with
Him. You have to wait for His presence. God
I just want you. God I need you!

God help me focus I can’t live like this! We

have to be desperate for God and if we are
not desperate for Him that is a problem.
Fight for more focus on Him! Not fiances, not
family, not the ministry, but Him. Understand
what I am saying. There is a time that we
pray for these things, but worship is not
about blessings. Worship is about God alone.
It’s all about Him.

We have to get to a point where we can’t

breath until we are so focused on Him and
His presence. Do you want God? The one
thing that you want in your life that you can’t
live without, is it God? We must learn to
treasure Him.

1. Matthew 15:8 “These people honor me

with their lips, but their hearts are far from
me.”

2. Jeremiah 29:13 “You will seek me and find

me when you seek me with all your heart.”

3. Jeremiah 24:7 “I will give them a heart to

know Me, for I am the LORD; and they will be
My people, and I will be their God, for they
will return to Me with their whole heart.”

4. Psalm 19:14 “Let the words of my mouth

and the meditation of my heart Be
acceptable in Your sight, O LORD, my rock
and my Redeemer.”

5. John 17:3 “Now this is eternal life: that

they know you, the only true God, and Jesus
Christ, whom you have sent.”

When you’re focused on God you will not

focus on anything else.

Many of us struggle with so many things and

many of us are being weighed down by the
trials of life. If you would just focus on God
you would understand that these things are
just so little compared to Him. Why do you
think God tells us to be still? When we are
not still our mind is going to be filled with so
much noise from the trials around us.
Sometimes you have to run and be alone
with the Lord and be still before Him. Allow
Him to calm your fears and worries.

God is who He says He is. He is our shelter,

our provider, our healer, our strength, etc.
When you’re so focused on God in the midst
of trials that shows a heart that trusts in the
Lord. Nothing in Hell can scare a heart that
trusts in the Lord, but you must focus on
God. There are many times in your life when
you sit and worry, but instead why aren’t you
praying? I believe this is one of the main
reasons why people struggle with
depression. We dwell on the negative and we
let these thoughts simmer into our soul
instead of seeking our God. The best
antidote for worry is worship.

There are many Christians who died for their

faith. Many martyrs were burned at the stake.
They died while singing hymns to the Lord.
Most people would scream in pain and
forsake God. Take a moment to imagine
them burning, but instead of worrying they
worshiped the Lord.

6. Isaiah 26:3 “You will keep the mind that is

dependent on You in perfect peace, for it is
trusting in You.”

7. Psalm 46:10 “Be still, and know that I am

God! I will be honored by every nation. I will
be honored throughout the world.”

8. Psalm 112:7 “They will have no fear of bad

news; their hearts are steadfast, trusting in
the LORD.”

9. Psalm 57:7 “My heart is confident in you,

O God; my heart is confident. No wonder I
can sing your praises!”

10. Psalm 91:14-15 “Because he has

focused his love on me, I will deliver him. I
will protect him because he knows my
name. When he calls out to me, I will answer
him. I will be with him in his distress. I will
deliver him, and I will honor him.”

In this life and in America especially there

are so many things that seek to distract
you.

There are distractions everywhere. I believe

one of the reasons that men are not being
men and women are not acting like women is
because of these distractions. Everything
seeks to slow us down and keep us
preoccupied. This world turns our heart away
from God. That is why when many people
worship their words don’t align with their
heart.

We are so worried about video games that

they take up a good majority of our life. Many
are so trapped by their phones that they
have no time to worship. The first thing
people do is wake up and they go
immediately to their phones and they check
their text messages and their social media
accounts and they don’t think about God
once. We are so distracted by everything else
and we forget God. We forget what is in front
of us.

Jesus said it is hard for the rich to enter into

Heaven. In America we’re rich. In some
countries we are millionaires. All these lights,
electronics, and luxuries are meant to
distract us. I barely watch TV because I know
how dangerous it is. It makes my love for the
Lord grow cold because it can be so
addicting. When you’re driving you’re not
going to be focused on what is behind you
because that is extremely dangerous. In the
same way it is extremely dangerous to focus
on the things of the world.

You will be hindered. You will not seek the

Lord with all your heart because you have to
keep on looking back. I encourage you to
forget the past, sign off on your social media
accounts, turn off the TV, and stop hanging
around those that are hindering you. Fix your
eyes on Christ. Allow Him to lead you more
and more to Him. You can’t do God’s will
while you are continually looking back.

11. Psalm 123:2 “We keep looking to the

LORD our God for his mercy, just as servants
keep their eyes on their master, as a slave girl
watches her mistress for the slightest signal.”

12. Colossians 3:1 “Therefore, if you have

been raised with the Messiah, keep focusing
on the things that are above, where the
Messiah is seated at the right hand of God.”

13. Philippians 3:13-14 “No, dear brothers

and sisters, I have not achieved it, but I focus
on this one thing: Forgetting the past and
looking forward to what lies ahead.”

Think about Christ.

What are your thoughts being filled with? Is it

Christ? We have to make war with our
thoughts. Our mind loves to dwell on
everything, but God and remain there. When
my mind dwells on something besides the
Lord for a long period of time I can become
weary. Let’s pray for help with keeping our
mind focused on Christ.

Let’s pray that God helps us to notice when

our mind drifts off to something else. Let’s
fight with our thoughts. I learned that
preaching the gospel to yourself is a great
way to keep your mind on Christ. Sometimes
we have to take a moment to just praise Him
and give Him thanks. A moment of genuine
worship lasts a lifetime. It gets your focusing
straight.

I also love listening to worship music

throughout the day. I want my heart to beat
for the Lord. I want to enjoy Him. If you
struggle with this cry out for help. Help my
thoughts to be filled with you and give me
advice to help me my Lord.

14. Hebrews 12:1-2 “Therefore, since we

have so great a cloud of witnesses
surrounding us, let us also lay aside every
encumbrance and the sin which so easily
entangles us, and let us run with endurance
the race that is set before us, 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.”

15. Hebrews 3:1 “Therefore, holy brothers,

partners in a heavenly calling, keep your
focus on Jesus, the apostle and high priest
of our confession.”

When you’re not focused on God you will

make mistakes.

God constantly tells His people to remember

my words because our hearts are bent on
going our own way. When you’re focused on
the Lord you will be focused on His Word.

When you start to lose focus you stop

making war with sin, your discernment will
be off, you’re slow to do God’s will, you
become impatient, etc.

Many times we see Christians start dating

ungodly people because they take their
focus off of God. Satan will seek to tempt
you. Just do it one time, God doesn’t care,
God is taking too long, etc.

We must be on guard and be strong in the

Lord, but how can we be strong in the Lord if
we are not focused on the Lord? Get into the
Word daily and be a doer not a hearer. How
can you know God’s instructions if you are
not in His Word?

16. Proverbs 5:1-2 “My son, stay focused;

listen to the wisdom I have gained; give
attention to what I have learned about life So
you may be able to make sensible
judgments and speak with knowledge.”

17. Proverbs 4:25-27 “Let your eyes look

directly ahead And let your gaze be fixed
straight in front of you. Watch the path of
