Have you ever been in a romantic relationship and it consumed so much of your thoughts that you could not think of anything else? You’d sit at your desk at work and allow your mind to wander and wonder about that special one. Or you’d find yourself not paying attention to the sermon on Sunday morning because your loved one is occupying your thoughts. Those are examples of being driven to distraction.
Unfortunately for some singles, Valentine’s Day is a day to be distracted from the tasks at hand by thoughts of that lover that got away or the one that never came. These singles would prefer that Valentine’s Day never come.
I cannot tell you what should drive you and you cannot tell me the same. But I do encourage you to examine your faith quotient. God is faithful and He stands ready to grant us our requests. But, many of us singles, ask for things we really do not believe God is going to give us. Thus, days like Valentine’s Day become a bad joke.
If we allow our faith to drive us to distraction, we will focus less on the loving that we are not getting and more on the promise of experiencing the love of a lifetime. With each day that comes and goes, our expectation of finally realizing the dreams of love that we hide deep in our hearts is that much more close to being made evident. "Valentine’s Day is here again? Hallelujah, that means that God’s “YES” to my prayer for a mate is closer than it was yesterday."
If you have kept the faith, then you can rejoice. One day, you will have a love that will be the cause of you being driven to distraction!

As much as I hate to, I must agree with you. I have been there. It seemed like every time I turned around, I saw those eyes or remembered that wicked smile.
Even the thought of that voice could make my heart leap for joy. I guess you could say I have it real bad. And just think this isn't a romantic relationship.
But each day I try to remember that God has something for me. Each day that I wake up He is preparing me for it. As long as I keep Him first and keep my eyes on Him, it will come. But the key is not to wait on it to come. Live and enjoy what God has placed on this earth for me to enjoy. And when it comes, I'll be ready.
I am so overjoyed Valentine’s Day is just about over!!!
I don’t think too many people have surpassed those relationships which have ended up "driven to distraction". For me it is a terrible feeling because you have no control over your emotions.
While I believe God is faithful, I do not believe He will grant us our every request for He has our interest at heart. God knows our every need and is operating in our best interest.
My belief is that God will give me the desires of my heart and my thoughts can be driven to distraction but it is only God’s timing that matters…My faith tells me God is faithful, therefore he will keep his promises…At times I think He just needs me to ask for the desires of my heart, in order to hear it so that I am certain of my own request to Him…We are all subject to change our minds when it comes to the one which can drive us to distraction.Is it at all possible,that distraction is just a passing phase not really “a keeper”?
I know God is capable of giving me more than I can asked or imagine; therefore I pray I will be content in what ever state I am in on this Valentine’s Day …I pray that “I will let go and let God” do his will and have his way in and over my life…
I have got to get busy doing God’s business…Lord Fill me and Thrill me with your Love…
Happy Valentine’s Day My Sisters and Brothers in Christ!
