Winnow not in every wind, and do not start off in every direction (Sirach 5:11).
Distractions are a real thing in our world. I find the “noises” vying for my attention can be overwhelming if I’m not grounded and firm within my connection with God.
Make. Every. Effort. is my word of the year.
It is essential to discern what the Spirit wants when we are making important choices in our lives. Through prayer, fasting, spiritual reading, spiritual advice, discernment of signs, sorting out our hidden motivations, etc., we develop a sense of what God wants of us.
The spiritual battle is to Make. Every. Effort. to hold the space for this encounter.
