Our mind must be focused on the Lord. He doesn’t accept partial sacrifices and He will not accept us whenever our mind is full of all kinds of distractions.
He desires all of our mind, body, and spirit.
B. Surrender Any Distracting Thoughts
As you try to still your mind and focus on the Lord there are going to be distracting thoughts.
If they are thoughts of sin, then repent. If they are anxieties, hand them over. If they are thoughts of frustration, surrender it. Somedays this will be a lot more time consuming than others.
