Am I the only one who starts to pray… and then my brain immediately goes somewhere else? Like I’ll be in the middle of it and suddenly I’m thinking about everything I need to do that day. But I was thinking about it earlier… maybe it’s not about doing it perfectly. Maybe it’s just about showing up, even when it’s messy. Because even in the middle of that, I still feel like God is listening. Anyone else?

This might sound simple, but I’ve been realizing something lately… The closer I try to get to God, the more aware I become of everything pulling me away from Him. Distractions, noise, stress… it’s like it’s always there. And I’m starting to think maybe that’s why being intentional matters so much. Not perfect—just intentional. Anyone else feel that?
