Many pressing matters tear our attention away from God each day. They are important things that we must attend to, like family, work, and caring for others. But no matter how important or pressing, they don´t have to break our attention away from the Lord. Instead, they are the first things we should bring to Him. A tiny switch in our focus will make a world of difference. Rather than leaving God to go and deal with our day. Why not learn to bring everything else there, where the Lord is? Where we and our Savior spend time together is the place and time to handle it all.
If someone came to visit us at our home, we would not stop attending to the needs of our children, for example. We could carry on chatting with our visitor while fixing the dinner. We could ask our friend to pass us some ingredients or bring something from the fridge. Treating our lives as if our Friend Jesus was with us every moment would only enhance our day. Tackling it all together would give us the time to spend with the Lord. It would also let Him help us with everything along the way.
Dear Lord, make us experts in finding You with us and keeping You there. We don´t want to walk one moment of any day on our own. Be with us. Be our God, our Helper, our best Friend. Teach us to be constant companions to You who have never left or forsaken us. Amen

Mary has chosen the good portion, which will not be taken away from her.”
