pray for faith – seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you.

Message: But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. This verse from Matthew serves as a gentle but firm reminder of our priorities in life. In a world filled with distractions and competing demands for our attention, it becomes essential to anchor ourselves in what truly matters. Seeking God’s kingdom first means placing our trust in His plans, allowing His righteousness to guide our actions and decisions. When we prioritize our spiritual journey and align our lives with His will, we open ourselves to the blessings that come from living in accordance with His purpose. The promise that all these things will be given to us as well encourages us to embrace a life of faith, assuring us that our physical and emotional needs will be met when we focus on our spiritual walk. Prayer: Heavenly Father, we come before You today with hearts open and ready to receive Your guidance and wisdom. In the hustle and bustle of life, it is so easy to become consumed by our daily tasks and desires. We often forget to seek You first and prioritize Your kingdom. Lord, we ask for Your forgiveness for the times we have allowed our ambitions to overshadow our spiritual commitments. Help us to shift our focus back to You, to seek Your righteousness above all else. May our hearts be stirred to pursue a deeper relationship with You, one that transforms our thoughts and actions. As we navigate through the challenges of life, remind us that our true fulfillment comes from You. In moments of struggle, when life gets overwhelming, grant us the peace that surpasses all understanding. Help us to trust in Your provision, knowing that You have our best interests at heart. We are grateful for the promise that when we prioritize Your kingdom, You will take care of our needs. Instill in us a spirit of contentment as we wait on Your timing and embrace each moment with grace. Lord, guide our steps as we seek to live according to Your will. May our lives reflect Your light, drawing those around us closer to You. Let us be vessels of Your love, sharing the hope we find in You with others. As we commit to seeking You first, may we also be reminded to support one another in this journey. Surround us with fellow believers who will encourage us and hold us accountable in our quest for righteousness. In every moment of our day, let us remember the beauty of seeking first Your kingdom. We trust in Your faithfulness and love, and we are confident that as we put You first, all other things will fall into place. Thank You for Your promises, and may we never take for granted the incredible gift of Your presence in our lives. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
