Spiritual ADHD

by Marilyn Ehle

"God is at work within you, helping you want to obey Him, and then helping you do what He wants" (Philippians 2:13, Living Bible).

The medical profession describes [kids] with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder...as displaying some or most of the following symptoms: unable to stay focused ..., listen to and follow directions; distracted easily; often avoids, dislikes or doesn't want to do things that take a lot of mental effort for a long period of time; displays compulsive and disruptive behavior; lacks self-control.

****

But as I look at the long list of symptoms, I sadly reflect that many of those descriptions fit my walk with God. ... Fortunately, God has a diagnosis and a solution for my disorder.

****

He asks that I first acknowledge my wandering mind, lack of focus, need for self-control, and then take appropriate steps for healing... .

Well, that is about 15 words over my allowable limit. There is more to this devotional, and the link is at the top. It is very interesting. You should read it!
