Stop frying your brain with endless short form content. Read long, complicated, books. Especially novels. Cultivate the ability to think deeply. To focus for long periods. Stare into space and enjoy boredom. Do tasks without any media playing in the background. Resist the urge to reach for your phone every time you feel uncomfortable. Get used to being with uncomfortable emotions instead. Wonder and think about the questions you have instead of asking AI. Become deeply present with everyone around you. Your ability to focus, pay attention, to think deeply, is one of your most valuable assets. Reclaim the immense beauty of experiencing your life directly instead of living it through a screen.

Satan got Adam and Eve to focus on one fruit when God had given them a whole garden. That's how he works. He gets you to focus on that one thing you don't have. Instead of all the blessings you do have.
Trust that God knows what you need, and will supply it when you need it.
@sheilatebra No where did the bible talk about that.
Proverbs 20:21

“Wealth gained hastily will dwindle, but whoever gathers little by little will increase it.”
Obedience is better than fasting.
-Zechariah 7
Obedience is better than sacrifice.
-1 Samuel 15:22
Obedience is your worship to God.
-Genesis 22:5
Worship is doing the thing that you don't feel like doing but the Lord told you to do it.
