Colossians 3:23 (NIV) tells us: "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters." As we work toward our goals, even when working unto the Lord, it's easy to let them take the place of God in our lives. 

Are you looking to your goals to heal a deep rooted pain in your life? Are you hoping your pain will go away when you achieve your goal? Are you even pursuing the right goals, the ones God has designed you to pursue? 

The best way to keep our goals from getting in the way of what He wants for us is to draw close to Him and spend time with Him. In this episode, I cover the top 3 distractions that keep us from abiding in Him and a few ways we can carve out time with HIm and make Him more of a priority in our lives than the goals we're chasing.
