S c r i p t u r e R e f e r e n c e:  Hebrews 12:2

 By: Pastor Roberta Washington

 Keep Your Eyes on Christ

As Disciples and Watchmen our stability is never found in watching circumstances but in watching Christ. 

Our prayer targets and focus are not determined by feelings and emotions. Our prayer target has a foundation on scripture. 

World news, world events, church (Ecclesia - the body) negative perceptions, family disagreements, the rapid growth of false prophets and financial fear have plagued intercession and distorted the true art of interceding. 

When your eyes shift, your faith shifts — but when your eyes return to Christ, your strength returns.

Keep Your Eyes on Christ

Hebrews 12:2 — Christ Is our Focus “Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith.”

This scripture teaches that faith begins with Christ and is completed by Christ. You don’t sustain yourself — He sustains you. 
Christ assignment is fulfillment.

Focus Is a Choice!
My final encouragement “Set your minds on things above. " Be intentional to  place your attention where Christ is. Distraction is natural; focus is spiritual discipline

Prayer:
Father, in the name of Jesus, teach me to keep my eyes on Christ. When storms rise, steady my gaze. When fear speaks, lift my focus. When distractions pull, anchor my attention in Your truth. Jesus, You are my example, my strength, and my peace.
Help me to see You above every circumstance and to follow Your voice above every noise. I choose today to look to You — the One who never fails.
