They Want You Distracted (But Jesus Wants Your Eyes on Him)

Many voices are fighting for your attention – people’s opinions, the pressures of culture, the endless cycle of comparison. But there’s one place your eyes were meant to stay – FIXED on JESUS. In this powerful prayer, we invite God to help us break free from distraction, comparison, and the need for approval, and to place our full focus on the One who never fails.
When your eyes are locked on Jesus – storms lose their power, fear loses its grip, and peace begins to flood your soul. We’ll pray through Scripture, reflect on real-life struggles, and seek God’s help to:
• Release the pressure of living for others’ approval
• Follow Jesus as our standard instead of the world’s shifting values
• Overcome feelings of being unseen or overlooked
• Trade comparison for contentment
• Walk in confidence knowing that God sees and knows every step
This prayer is not just words – it’s an invitation to transformation. As you listen and pray along, expect God to realign your heart, strengthen your faith, and fill you with His peace.
By the end, you’ll see clearly why focusing on Jesus changes everything – and why looking to others will always leave you empty.
🙏 If you’ve been feeling pulled in every direction, let this be the moment you lift your eyes back to Christ.
