“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. (Hebrews 12:1-2a NIV)
Christian discipleship is a lifetime of training in how to pay attention to the right things, to notice God's work in our lives and in the world. Through long practice we unfix our gaze from distractions and fears in order to attend to that which God attends.
-- Tish Warren in “Prayer in the Night”
