It comes up in conversation along with words like underperforming, procrastination, and Attention Deficit Disorder. It’s my nemesis. And as I was researching how to help my sadly saddled child, inheritor of my weaknesses, I got to thinking about how this scatterbrained tendency impacts people spiritually. Where does a person start a project that huge, a lifetime of walking with God? How can you whittle down a thousand page book to a do-able daily goal?

As a fellow ADD person, I had never thought about how it impacts my walk with Christ…but I see myself in what you have written! Prayers that trail off…distraction when I try to focus on Christ. Thanks for the suggested verses to ponder.
