As a woman of faith, it can be challenging to stay focused on your mission when the world around you is constantly vying for your attention. It’s like, YES Lord, here I am send me. But wait Lord, I have to make dinner and get the kids all registered for camp, and they are asking for medical forms I can’t find and my friend really needs me to call her back and I have to run the reports for my business as it is the end of the month. Am I right? How can you stay connected to your purpose, keep your faith at the forefront of your life, and navigate the distractions with grace and intention? 

In the whirlwind of our bustling lives, it’s no surprise that we often feel besieged by the countless distractions that vie for our time and attention. Balancing family responsibilities, work commitments, and personal aspirations can make it feel nearly impossible to remain tethered to our greater purpose. However, as women of faith, we possess a remarkable tool that equips us to gracefully and intentionally navigate the whirlwind of life: God’s Word. The relentless demands of daily life can quickly overshadow our mission and purpose, leading us to feel adrift amidst the world’s distractions. In these moments, I find solace in the stabilizing force of God’s Word.

1 Corinthians 3:9 reminds us, “For we are co-workers in God’s service; you are God’s field, God’s building.” Within this verse lies the profound truth that we are not alone in our endeavors. We are co-workers with God, and our lives are the very field and building that He tends to. This perspective shifts our focus from feeling overwhelmed by life’s demands to realizing that we are engaged in a divine partnership with our Creator.

In the midst of life’s clamor and distractions, we are not adrift; we are firmly planted as co-workers in God’s service. As women of faith, we have the extraordinary privilege of partnering with our Creator, tending to the field and building that He has entrusted to us. Through the guidance and wisdom found in God’s Word, we can navigate the turbulence of life with grace and intention, knowing that our purpose is both significant and divinely ordained.
