Do not get Distracted

As you have been traveling on this road my child, you have encountered many challenges. You have gotten used to the challenges, but you have put your focus more on the stumbling blocks than you have put on me.
You have been trying to pick up every last little pebble on your path so that the road can be smooth and easy to walk on. My child, laying down a clear and smooth road for you is my job. Sure, I have given you the authority to come against any blockage in the way and you are more than a conqueror in me, but be sure to set your eyes on me and my power.
I will blast all those little irritations out of your way and I will deal with the big blockages as well. Do this in my strength and hold onto my hand. Sit in my presence and seek my face before you just run and take care of all these things in your own strength.
For as you try to do that, you will miss the blessings I have for you as you walk this road. You will miss the view along this journey and not notice when I am calling you to the side to have a moment to enjoy my presence or receive fresh direction.
So, don't be set on your own path and your own plans, but be set firmly in me and my presence. Fix your eyes on me and run this race with much joy, says the Lord.
