Faith Christian Assembly
The inability to focus is a real and urgent crisis. The University of California in Irvine observed how long on average an adult working in an office stays on one task. It was three minutes! The collective ability to pay attention is rapidly shrinking, but scripture says “Be still, and know that I am God” (Psalm 46:10).
There are many stressed out people who are unable to focus because they are pulled in so many directions between work, home, and other pressures make it difficult to focus. The ancient wisdom from Old Testament can help. For thousands of years, Jewish believers have spoken a prayer the moment they wake up that focuses their attention on God rather than on the things of the world.
The prayer is called the Shema, which is a Hebrew word that means “hear or listen.” It comes from Deuteronomy 6:49. “Hear, O Israel! The Lord is our God, the Lord is one! You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might.”
How would attitudes change if the first thing a believer did when each morning was to commit to loving God and obeying to his word?
Faith Christian Assembly’s Sunday service times are 10:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m., with the pre-service prayer at 5 p.m. at 13820 Seal Beach Blvd. The Wednesday Bible study is held in the main sanctuary at 11 a.m.
