Message:
May Jesus be our first priority, not our last resort.
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, as we gather in Your presence today, we pause to reflect on the significance of placing You at the center of our lives. In a world that often encourages us to seek out solutions outside of Your embrace, we ask for the wisdom and strength to turn to You first, before we explore alternatives. Help us understand that our relationship with You should not just be an afterthought, a backup plan when circumstances become overwhelming. Rather, let it be the foundation upon which we build all of our decisions and aspirations.
Lord, we recognize that seeking You as our first priority requires intentional effort. It calls for us to carve out moments in our busy lives to connect with You, to listen to Your voice, and to seek Your guidance. Teach us to trust in Your timing and to understand that You see the bigger picture even when we are burdened by our immediate troubles. May we find solace in the quiet moments spent in prayer, allowing Your presence to calm our anxieties and fill us with peace.
We ask for Your grace as we navigate life’s challenges. Strengthen our faith so that we turn to You as our first choice, not just in times of need but in every moment. Guide us to seek Your wisdom in our relationships, our work, and our goals. Remind us that prioritizing You leads to fulfillment and clarity, as You know what we truly need and desire.
Lord, we pray for those who may feel distant from You or who struggle to know how to prioritize their relationship with You. May they feel Your love and presence surrounding them, drawing them closer to You. Let them experience the joy that comes from prioritizing You above all else. Help us all to cultivate a heart that is tuned to Your will, ready to respond to Your call.
We thank You for always being there, unchanging and steadfast. May we honor You with our thoughts, our actions, and our priorities, and may our lives reflect the love and light of Your truth. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
