This weekend, we\u2019re asked to pause and pay attention to our own thoughts: What do I actually spend the most time focusing on each day? Is it worries about the world, struggles at home or work, or concerns for our children and families? Or is it God\u2019s kingdom, my role as His disciple, and how I live that out? St. Paul reminds us in today\u2019s readings that our thoughts and concerns don\u2019t have to spiral into worry or discouragement. Instead, they can be transformed into prayer, into trust in God, and into the energy of discipleship. \u201cFirst of all, I ask that supplications, prayers, petitions, and thanksgivings be offered for everyone\u2026 lifting up holy hands, without anger or argument\u201d (1 Tim 2). Jesus also says in the Gospel, \u201cNo servant can serve two masters.\u201d One practical way to discern who we\u2019re serving is to notice what we think and talk about most. Is it our anxieties\u2014or the Lord? This week, simply pay attention: Do my concerns lead me deeper into worry, or do they become fuel for prayer and for living as Christ\u2019s disciple?
