Whenever I go out, I notice that many people walking with phones in hand, almost as if they are hypnotized and unaware of what is going on around them. It makes me wonder: What is this urgency to keep checking your phone?<\/div>\n<div class=\"\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"\">I couldn\u2019t help but think how different the world might be if we had the same sense of urgency to remain connected with God. Like any meaningful relationship, our relationship with God requires attention, commitment, and intentionality. It calls us to prioritize time with Him rather than living with the constant pressure, anxiety, or fear of missing out that often comes with our digital lives.<\/div>\n<div class=\"\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"\">When we stay connected to God, our faith influences our decisions, actions, and perspective. It helps us focus on what truly matters in the long term. Spending time with God through daily prayer, devotion, and reflection strengthens our relationship with Him and helps us approach life with greater peace, patience, wisdom, and purpose.<\/div>\n<div class=\"\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"\">Staying connected with God should be a daily practice, not just something reserved for Sundays or emergencies. Seek God every day instead of filling your life with endless digital distractions. Your phone may keep you informed, but God can guide your heart, mind, and life.<\/div>\n<div class=\"\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"\">Antoinette Giacobbe<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 Can you imagine that a thousand years from now, archaeologists excavating the remains of our civilization would discover modern humans with devices seemingly attached to their hands and their&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[8,7,10,9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2168","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-heart","category-mind","category-social","category-soul"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innerview.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2168","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innerview.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innerview.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/innerview.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/innerview.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2168"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/innerview.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2168\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2170,"href":"https:\/\/innerview.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2168\/revisions\/2170"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innerview.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2168"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/innerview.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2168"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/innerview.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2168"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
