pray for God’s will – put God first and everything else will fall into proper place

Message: Put God first and everything else will fall into proper place. In our busy lives, it is all too easy to prioritize worldly demands above our spiritual obligations. We often chase after success, recognition, and the many distractions that life throws our way. However, the simple yet profound truth lies in the act of placing God at the forefront of our lives. By doing so, we invite clarity and purpose into our existence. When we make the conscious choice to align our priorities with God’s will, we discover a transformative power that reshapes our perspectives and priorities. Our worries and stresses begin to decline as we trust that as we focus on God, He will orchestrate the details of our lives in ways we cannot even imagine. This devotion serves as a gentle reminder that when we truly put God first, we gain not only His guidance but also a peace that surpasses all understanding. The rest of our lives—our relationships, careers, and daily challenges—can find the proper place when bathed in God’s love and wisdom. Prayer: Heavenly Father, I come before you with a heart yearning for peace, clarity, and guidance. I recognize that life can often draw my attention away from what truly matters, and I ask for your help in redirecting my focus. Teach me to put you first in all aspects of my life. Help me to seek your presence throughout my day, whether in the quiet of morning prayers or during the hustle and bustle of my daily responsibilities. Remind me that prioritizing my relationship with you is not merely a task, but rather the foundation upon which my life should be built. Lord, I trust that when I place you at the center of my decisions and thoughts, everything else will begin to fall into its rightful place. Help me to remember that the chaotic moments and challenges I face are best handled through your wisdom and grace. Let my heart be attuned to your voice, guiding my ways and illuminating the paths I should walk. Grant me the strength to resist the distractions that vie for my time and attention. Allow me to embrace the quiet moments with you, knowing they are where I will find the peace and guidance I seek. Help me to engage wholeheartedly in the disciplines of prayer, scripture, and worship, recognizing these as my lifelines to connecting with you. May my thoughts and actions reflect a heart that genuinely seeks you first. Help me to bring your love into my interactions with others, showing them your light by demonstrating unconditional love and understanding. As I submit to your will, fill me with an enduring faith that encourages me to keep faith through trials, knowing that your plan is greater than my immediate challenges. Thank you, Lord, for your unchanging nature and the promise that when I put you first, you will shepherd me through every season of my life. I commit to making you my priority, trusting that you will handle the rest. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
