pray for faith – putting God first is the foundation for a life well-lived
Message:
God first.
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, as we gather in Your presence, we come to acknowledge the truth that You deserve to be our foremost priority. In a world filled with distractions and competing demands, it is easy to lose sight of what truly matters. We often find ourselves entangled in our own pursuits, forgetting that putting You first is the foundation for a life well-lived. Thank You for reminding us that when we prioritize our relationship with You, everything else falls into place.
Lord, help us to cultivate a heart that yearns for You above all else. May we seek Your guidance in every decision, great or small. Teach us to turn to You in moments of joy and sorrow, in triumph and trial. Surround us with Your love and wisdom so that we may draw strength from You in times of need. When challenges arise, remind us to take a step back and center ourselves in prayer, placing our worries and fears at Your feet.
Lord, we also ask for Your forgiveness for the times we have allowed other aspects of life to take precedence over our devotion to You. We recognize that this often leads to frustration and emptiness. Help us to reset our priorities and renew our commitment to You each day. May our thoughts, actions, and words reflect the love and grace You bestow upon us. Let us be a light to those around us, demonstrating what it means to live a life that puts You first.
As we go about our daily lives, may we remember that our relationship with You is not just a part of our life but the very essence of it. May our desire to know You deepen with each moment, and may we find joy in aligning our daily activities with Your will. Surround us with people who inspire us in our faith journey. Encourage us to build a community where we uplift one another, sharing the love of Christ with those in need.
We ask all this in the precious name of Jesus, who showed us the way to live a life fully surrendered to the Father. Amen.
