We want to decide on what is distracting us & focus on Jesus,

"Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses…" Hebrews 12:1

"let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely" Hewbrews 12:1

What is a Weight?
A weight is something that slows us down and steals our focus.

What weight in your life is stealing your focus?

"Let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely."
Sin keeps us from God’s best in our lives.

What sin is clinging closely in your life?

"and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us"

God has a better plan for your life than you do.

"Looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God." Hebrews 12:2

The human heart is an idol factory that takes good things like a successful career, love, material possessions, even family, and turns them into ultimate things. Our hearts deify them as the center of our lives, because, we think, they can give us significance and security, safety and fulfillment, if we attain them. - Timothy Keller

Focus on Jesus and everything else will come into perspective.

Focusing on Jesus does not mean everything in your life is perfect, but it does mean you have perspective when things don’t go as planned.
