As I am sitting here at my desk reviewing my customer problem tickets I just a a very strong urge to lift up one of my brothers in the Lord. He is handling some employee issues currently and notified our S.K.I.N group that he needs prayer today. He did not say when he needed but that he needs it to help him as he resolves an issue with an employee.
At 12:30 PM EDT I had to overwhelming urge to pray for him and his co-workers. So I stopped what I was doing and lifted them up. I then contacted him to see if he is OK. He is and is going to be working on resovling the issues soon. I write this because yesterday I had trouble hearing God, because I let other things get in the way of our communication lines.
Today He spoke to me very clearly, pray for your friend, now! So I did and I am going back to prayer as soon as I am done with this post.
In the words of one of my other brothers in the Lord - It is time to go to center court with God.

Losing Focus
Yesterday the day started out great. I walked out of my house at 6:45 AM to go to S.K.I.N and I stopped to look at the wonders that are the stars above our heads. There was no moon and it was very dark. I really felt connected with God. I prayed as I stood there in my yard looking up at the universe.
I met up with my brothers and we had a good discussion. I picked up my wife and we headed into work. At work I began to lose my closeness with God. Throughout the day work went OK but I started to stress about school issues. As the day wore on I felt worse spiritually by the time I got to class I was getting angry about our project.
The ride home with my wife and daughter was not as pleasant as it could have been. Each of us are going through a season of change and struggle and we were not feeling close to God or each other. When I headed to bed I had a hard time falling asleep. I just tried to listen for God again, but it did not work very well. I tossed and turned most of the night.
My thoughts are how can we be focused on God and feeling the Holy Spirit only to have it erode throughout the day? And how to we recognize and take steps to prevent the erosion of our attitude? Sometimes it is hard to keep focused on the Lord.
If we don't take the time to refocus the enemy will get a foothold on us and tear us apart.
Any comments are welcome.
