Remove the Distractions

I guess I'm going to make Saturday my day for just my thoughts. Today I'm thinking about what distracts me from Jesus. I've noticed, depending on the day/time, I'm easily distracted by things, even when I'm in the middle of my time with God.  Obvious things like social media, texts, politics, social issues, my job, family, random noises, and so on.  But there are other things too that distract me that are not things that are outside influences...things from my own thoughts. I begin with one thought and then track it like a rabbit down a long hole until I realize how far I am from Jesus and my original peace I had while being with Him. And the sad thing is, these distractions never give me life.  Instead they make me frustrated, sad, depressed, and angry. I'm asking God to challenge me with noticing my own distractions so He can bring my attention back to Him.  I'm trying to give my distractions to God and ask Him how He wants me to handle those distractions. I want to be closer to Jesus and, obviously, distractions keep me from accomplishing that. What are your distractions that pull you away from Jesus. What hills do you like to stand on and shout? Are they life giving? Just a thought to ponder.
