Message:
Go to God first, not last. In the bustling rhythm of our daily lives, it is easy to forget the importance of seeking divine guidance before we embark on our ventures. We often find ourselves in turmoil, rushing from one task to another, and only when we feel overwhelmed do we turn to God for help. This practice can lead to moments of desperation rather than divine connection. Starting our day or decision-making process with God ensures that we are aligned with His will, granting us direction, peace, and clarity. When we prioritize our relationship with God, we cultivate an atmosphere where faith flourishes, allowing us to navigate life with confidence.
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with humble hearts, acknowledging that our lives are often filled with chaos and uncertainty. In this world that pulls us in many directions, we seek to find our anchor in You. Teach us to turn to You first in all that we do. Help us to prioritize our relationship with You, recognizing that Your wisdom surpasses our own understanding.
Lord, we confess that too often we have waited until life becomes burdensome before seeking Your counsel. We have tried to navigate our challenges alone, forgetting that You are our refuge and strength. As we strive to change this pattern, instill in us a spirit of discipline and devotion. Remind us daily to commit our plans and decisions to You. May we always seek Your voice before making choices, trusting that Your plans for us are good and full of promise.
We ask for Your guidance in our decisions, big and small. May our first thought be to seek Your wisdom, allowing Your light to illuminate our paths. Help us to quiet our minds and open our hearts to receive Your words of comfort and assurance. As we make it a habit to consult You first, we pray that we also grow in faith and trust.
Lord, remind us that You are always present, waiting to guide and support us. Help us to cultivate a prayerful spirit, one that rejoices in Your presence at all times. We desire to know You more intimately, to wake each morning with the intention of seeking Your face and not just Your hand. We place our hopes, dreams, and challenges into Your capable hands, knowing that with You by our side, we can face any circumstance.
Thank You for being a loving and faithful God. We commit this day and every day into Your service. May we be vessels of Your peace and love, sharing Your light in all we encounter. In Your holy name, we pray. Amen.
