It is one of those days where I am off focus.  I drift and find myself unable to hear the words that I know are there for me to convey.  I get restless and a bit frustrated as the time gets later and later.  Thinking to myself, why can I not focus?  I take a moment to pray and trust in Jesus. 

Whenever I feel a bit off I know that I have shifted and taken back control.  When Jesus is in control, my whole being is at peace.  When I allow frustration to surface, I know that I need to trust in Jesus and give him back control. 

It is then that I redirect myself to filling my thoughts and prayers with Jesus.  I pray and let him know that he has control and that I am here to serve him.  The redirection is often a few moments and a very simple prayer. 

If I am unable to shake the frustration and refocus, I then remove myself from outside noise and find a quiet place to refocus, pray, and place trust back with Jesus.  Stress disappears and a feeling of peace runs through my body. 

As I began to formulate this blog, I typed the word trust.  Throughout the day my thoughts were drifting to various topics and subtopics regarding trust.  Frustration started to set in because none of the ideas seemed right. 

After numerous prayers and refocusing, I began to realize that I was to trust Jesus and write about the process.  For me, stress and frustration are clear signs that I have taken control.  They are warning signals that I need to refocus.

My life is led by Jesus.  That doesn’t mean that I sit and wait for something to happen, but it does mean that I put aside my wants and focus on following the path that presents itself.  I pray and trust that when I stray off course I will be redirected to my intended path.       

I put my trust in Jesus!
