Why do you think followers of Jesus should focus their eyes on the realities of heaven? Does that mean followers of Jesus donโt have to pay attention to whatโs happening around them?

Sometimes we are so focused on the thing right in front of us that we become stressed and overwhelmed. In these times we can develop โtunnel visionโ where the thing in front of us is the only thing we can see. ๐ At times this can help us stay focused on whatโs important, but other times it just makes us feel blinded. How can we rest in the things that God cares about? When we do that, we have the strength to run towards love for God and love for people. Write down the things you believe God cares about. We know the big ones are loving God and loving people, but list some examples of what that can look like. Write a short prayer asking God to help you focus on what God cares about.

About this Plan
Stress. Anxiety. Chaos. Hustle. Worry. Busyness. These are words you might be thinking about, talking about, and experiencing pretty regularly. It sometimes feels like weโre stuck running a race to get things done, be the best, do everything, and earn everyoneโs approval. But if you want to keep running, youโve got to rest. For the next 40 days, what if you made it a habit to rest in Godโs presence?
