Answers will vary but look for how things of the world or other issues in life interfere with or distract us serving God. Also, look for responses that show how renewed efforts of prayer and study of God's word help bring us back into focus. For those looking for help to regain focus, point them to the teachings and example of Jesus as He encourages us to greater faith.
Jesus possessed a singular focus on His role and mission of salvation for man, regardless of disappointments, misunderstandings and threats to His life. In the same way, we must remain focused on our role and mission as disciples of Jesus.
He gave us the mission of making disciples (Matthew 28:18-20). Our role is to stay focused on our mission. In doing so we act upon our faith and present the opportunity of salvation to others.
Another key point is that we frequently want things done according to our timeline and plan. Jesus is faithful but according to His plan and timing. He promises to answer the prayers of His faithful followers and we must have faith that He will do so. Furthermore, we must have faith that His promise of salvation will be fulfilled.
