How to Stay Focused in Worship | Surrendering Distractions to Jesus | S2 Ep34
In this episode of the Closer to Jesus Podcast, I share how to overcome distractions and keep your heart centered on Jesus during worship. True worship is more than a song—it’s surrendering every part of our lives to God with our full attention, devotion, and love.
From Abraham on the mountain to the throne room in Revelation, we see that worship is holy, powerful, and deeply personal. Yet the enemy wants to cheapen it by filling our minds with worry, busyness, and distraction. That’s why learning how to stay focused in worship is so important.
📖 Key Scriptures Mentioned:
Matthew 22:37 – Love the Lord with all your heart, soul, and mind.
Colossians 3:23–24 – Whatever you do, do it as unto the Lord.
Genesis 22:5 – Abraham’s act of worship with Isaac.
Revelation 4 – Worship in the throne room.
Romans 12:1 – Present your body as a living sacrifice.
Philippians 4:8 – Think on what is true, pure, and lovely.
Jeremiah 29:11–13 – God’s plans for us as we seek Him.
1 Thessalonians 5:18 – Give thanks in everything.
Hebrews 4:16 – Boldly approach the throne of grace.
John 4:23–24 – Worship in Spirit and in truth.
✨ In this episode, I share three practical ways to stay grounded in worship:
-Let the Lord have your imagination – focus your thought life on Him.
-Offer thanksgiving – gratitude keeps your heart centered on God’s goodness.
-Pray in the Spirit – worship in Spirit and truth, joining in Heaven’s language.
Worship is not just for God—it’s a gift He uses to pour His love, mercy, and revelation back into us. When we stay focused on Him, our worship becomes transformative.
