The Zoom screen opens up, and there’s Ricco, an inmate at the Wright County Jail I meet with once a week. “How did things go for you this past week?” I ask him.
“Not good, Pat, not good. I let myself be overcome with all my problems (Ricco is facing up to 28 years in prison). I was filled up with Ricco. I focused on a court hearing last week and it overwhelmed me. I needed deliverance real bad. Then I realigned my focus from my problem to God, and it became so small it almost disappeared. I need to be constantly realigning my focus from my problems to God. When I do that, I’m at peace, When I don’t do that I’m anxious.”
How about you? Do you focus on your problems or on God? The problem becomes a mole hill when you look at the Mountain first.
