Look for these in your own mind:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>My schedule\u2019s too full. I don\u2019t have time for prayer and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/eckhart-tolle-meditation-mindfulness\/\">meditation<\/a>.<\/li><li>I\u2019m the active type. I\u2019m not one for silence and solitude.<\/li><li>God has better things to do than help me with my little problems.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Your weapon against distraction from God is <\/strong><strong><em>stillness<\/em><\/strong>, a state of silent rest in God\u2019s presence from which you can recognize and combat your negative spirals.<strong> The enemy\u2019s basic lie in this battle is that you\u2019ll feel better if you remain distracted from God.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The distraction in question is a perpetual inability\u2014or rather a decision not\u2014to spend time in silence and solitude with God. There are many ways to keep yourself distracted from God, including (but certainly not limited to):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Social media<\/li><li>Busyness, packing your schedule<\/li><li>Playing music constantly<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/working-multiple-jobs\/\">Juggling jobs<\/a>, committees, and too many friends<\/li><li>\u201cDoing things\u201d for God but not taking time to actually meet with him<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The enemy\u2019s lie is fueled by our fear of facing ourselves and being \u201cfound out\u201d by him. <\/strong>There\u2019s an irony here, because God actually <em>wants <\/em>to be with you in your fear and shame, but these are the very things that make you run from him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This fear of facing ourselves and God breaks down into three different sub-fears:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Fear of working: Quiet time with God brings up responsibilities that you need to fulfill, such as interpersonal reconciliations and job commitments.<\/li><li>Fear of having to change: Quiet time brings up an awareness of sin, bad habits, and your need for repentance.<\/li><li>Fear of being all alone: Quiet time potentially brings up the fear that you\u2019ll find God isn\u2019t really there.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The author gives many real-life examples of distraction from God, and of its seductive gravitational pull:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>A friend sought the author\u2019s counsel over frantic and exhausting troubles with her marriage, children, friends, and a hectic life. The author recommended that she spend half an hour in solitude with God. A day later, the friend gave multiple excuses for not doing it.<\/li><li>The author describes her own tendency during her 18-month crisis to shy away from quiet time with God. She didn\u2019t even know why she acted that way.<\/li><li>The author gives an account of a day when she compulsively socialized at her church and spent too much time on social media when she really wanted to spend some deep <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/time-alone-with-god\/\">time alone with God<\/a>.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The fundamental danger of distraction is that you\u2019re never actually \u201cin neutral.\u201d You\u2019re always moving toward or away from something\u2014if not toward God, then away from him.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Solution: Stillness With God<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The truth that explodes the lie of distraction is that God specifically built us for silent communion with him. <\/strong>As in the example of Paul regaining his sight after the light of Christ had blinded him and then spending an extended time fasting in silence and solitude, stillness with God enables you to see reality as it truly is.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The way you defeat your enemy of distraction is by learning to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/practice-calm\/\">practice stillness<\/a> deliberately. <\/strong>Such communion with God really is available to you. Remember the master interrupting thought: \u201cI have a choice.\u201d You can <em>choose<\/em> to be still with God.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What are some common distractions from God?
