The prayer
A prayer to pray now
Father, Matthew 6 says to seek first Your kingdom and Your righteousness, and all these things will be added to me. I am bad at the order. I reach for grades, image, approval, and my own plans first, and then try to fit You in around them. Reverse the order in me today. Be the first thing I reach for, not the last. I am going to try. If I fail, I will start again tomorrow. Help me choose You first today, and then choose You again tomorrow. The other things in my life will find their place when You are in Yours. Amen.
