Help Me Keep My Focus on You, Lord (a prayer)

Eternal One, help me to keep my focus (attention; thoughts) on You. Help my thoughts not to drift. You are above all and are the best for me to think on and focus. Help me keep my mind (thoughts), heart, eyes, and ears tuned in to You and to everything of You.

Help me to not give in to the noise of this world and the things that keep me from what matters most (You).

You tell me to think on only certain things (Philippians 4:8) and to take my thoughts captive (2 Corinthians 10:5), where I focus my thoughts on You and Your Word.

Help me turn to the things above (Colossians 3:1-2), rejoice always (Philippians 4:4), pray about everything (Philippians 4:6), give thanks for everything (Philippians 4:6), and meditate (ponder; contemplate; think on) on Your Word day and night (Psalm 1:2). After all, if I live these things, then I will keep my mind and heart focused on You.

The truth is, my thoughts can get me into trouble, or at least can get my attention off You. Help me seek to make You my focus and to make You first in my life in every way (Matthew 6:33). And this begins by keeping my focus on You.

Help me to do all these things. I want to put You first and keep You first in my life, in all I do and think.
