A Pilgrim's progress (Day 2)

One of my favorite sports movies is "For Love of the Game". Kevin Costner plays the role of Billy Chapel, a pitcher well past his prime. He is working on pitching the perfect game. As he gets up on the mound and leans in for the sign from his catcher, you hear his thoughts as he tells himself to "clear the mechanism". Instantly, all of the crowd noise is gone and he is in a state of total concentration. It's just him and his catcher.
Today I am praying for God to "clear the mechanism".
Lord, in the midst of all of today's noise, let me focus on you. Clear the junk from my heart and mind so that I can concentrate on you and what you have to say to me.
