Good morning Col Burroughs. I hope you had a successful day yesterday and I can't wait to hear about it.
Concentration is a key to success in any endeavor. This is especially true now with so many distractions around us all the time. TV, internet, phones, etc. People who complain they have no time to do things are still complaining even though we've been locked down for more than five months. What's the issue? Concentration and focus. People are easily distracted from what is important. Concentration takes practice and discipline but the results are well worth it.

I expect that you like me are better able to focus and concentrate when we are well-nourished, well-rested, and sober of mind [absence of alcohol and drugs]. I expect you realize that the sanctification of our soul by the Holy Spirit prunes us of bad habits and nourishes good habits including our thought life Jack.
I pray you that I are being blessed by an increase the fruit of the Spirit self-control, peace and patience as we encourage other people who are having trouble focusing and concentrating because they are overly-concerned about SARS-CoV-2. As we use the Fruit to bless others, the Holy Spirit infuses the fruit in accordance with what HE knows will be needed. ‘Older men are to be sober-minded, dignified, self-controlled, sound in faith, in love, and in steadfastness. Older women likewise are to be reverent in behavior, not slanderers or slaves to much wine. Likewise, urge the younger men to be self-controlled.' Titus 2-3, 6 ESV], my brother-in-Christ CW5 Jack Cardwell.
I pray that each one of YOUR adopted sons and daughters who reads this prayer are being blessed with an increase of the fruit of peace and an ability to focus on the prompting of the Holy Spirit as HE guides us to help whoever YOU lead us towards. LORD I pray that YOU sift our thoughts, purify them, and enable us to destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God. ‘For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds. We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ, being ready to punish every disobedience, when your obedience is complete.’ [2 Corinthians 10:4-6 ESV]
Thank YOU, LORD for the sanctification of our soul and the wisdom YOU bless us with to help our family members and others we are responsible for leading. Enable each one of us to concentrate our thoughts and enable us to focus clearly on what we need to do in the near term and help each one to prep[are for the longer term with knowledge and wisdom.
I pray that each elected and appointed official who is YOUR adopted son or daughter in the USA, UK, Australia, India, Mexico, and Canada is able to concentrate on what needs to be done. Empower each one to negotiate with wisdom and discernment across the political aisle. Let YOU light shine through each to draw other elected and appointed officials to be focus on what is essential and negotiate on what isn’t.
LORD I lift House Speaker Nancy Patricia Pelosi, Senator Charles Ellis Schumer, Senator Addison Mitchell McConnell Jr. and the President Donald Trump administration officials White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin; the Governors of California, Oregon and Washington, the mayors of Seattle, Washington and Portland, Oregon. I pray that YOU bless each with an ability to concentrate on what is good for the constituents within their responsibilities. Bless each with a measure of wisdom and enable them to evaluate what is essential and what is not. Guide them to negotiate in good faith. LORD I pray that constituents contact their elected officials in California, Oregon, Washington, New York, and Kentucky to negotiate in good faith.
I pray that each one of YOUR adopted children and your loved ones sleep well Sunday night and will wake up healthy on Monday morning.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.
