Day 5: Pray His Agenda First
Scripture:
"But seek first His Kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." — Matthew 6:33 (NIV)
Reflection:
Before bringing our needs to God, we should align our hearts with His priorities: His Kingdom, His will, and His glory. Prayer is an opportunity to refocus on what God is passionate about. We all have desires, things we are petitioning God for, but ultimately our heart should want to line up with His desires. Great prayer to pray-God show me your heart, your desires. Ps 37- Delight yourself in Him, he will give you the deisres….
Application:
Quick Prayer:
“Father, I bring my concerns to You, but before anything else, I seek Your Kingdom. Align my heart with Your will and help me to live according to Your priorities.”
