pray for a deeper relationship with God – let my actions reflect my faith, and may those around me see the light of Your love shining through me.

Message: Go to God first, not last. In our fast-paced lives, it’s easy to become overwhelmed by challenges, responsibilities, and uncertainties. We often find ourselves trying to tackle problems on our own, only to realize later that we should have sought God’s guidance from the beginning. The invitation to approach God first serves as a reminder of His constant availability and readiness to support us. When we make God our first point of contact, we align ourselves with His will, and our hearts become attuned to His voice. This practice fosters a deep-rooted faith that reassures us that we are not alone. Prioritizing our relationship with God transforms our perspective, granting us peace and clarity amidst life’s storms. It encourages us to lean into His strength rather than our own, ushering us into a realm of divine assistance and love. Prayer: Heavenly Father, I come before You today with a heart full of gratitude. Thank You for being my constant source of strength and comfort. I acknowledge that too often I rush into my day, diving headfirst into my worries and tasks without first seeking You. Forgive me for those moments when I forget to turn to You, thinking I can manage things on my own. Teach me to put You first in all aspects of my life. Help me to prioritize our relationship above all else, to always seek Your wisdom and guidance before making decisions, and to trust in Your plan for me. Lord, I desire to cultivate a habit of approaching You in both the small and the significant moments of my life. Fill my heart with the understanding that You are always there, ready to listen and provide the answers I need. Even when the world feels overwhelming, I believe that surrendering my troubles to You brings peace that surpasses all understanding. Help me to remember that walking with You leads to clarity and purpose. May my spirit be open to Your leading, Father. In times of uncertainty, may I find solace in prayer, knowing that You are my refuge and strength. Lord, guide my steps and allow me to feel Your presence in every decision I make. I trust that when I come to You first, I will be filled with peace and wisdom to navigate through my challenges. As I take steps each day, I pray for a renewed commitment to prioritize You. Let my actions reflect my faith, and may those around me see the light of Your love shining through me. I pray that You help me to encourage others to do the same, guiding them to seek You as the first response, not the last resort in their lives. Thank You for listening to me, for understanding my heart, and for promising to be with me every step of the way. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
