I am beginning to teach a series on prayer at our church. The text for Sunday is from Luke 10 and 11.

In Luke 10 we have the story of Mary and Martha. Mary sat at the feet of Jesus. Martha was busy with serving.

Prayer is a powerful reminder to make sure you keep the main thing the main thing. The distractions will always be there. The key is to remember when Jesus is in the house, you find the time for him. The serving will be there. Things to be done will still be there.

Don’t allow the distractions take you away from the good part.

⁴¹ The Lord answered, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and distracted by many things. ⁴²  One thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the better part. It won’t be taken away from her.” (Luke 10:41-42, CEB)
