“But seek ye first
the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added
unto you.”
-Matthew 6:33-
Our Father, who art in Heaven:
We ask
that you will forgive us for our sins.
Create in us a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within us. Lord, there are times we have put idols
before you, and we are sorry. We know there shall be no gods (idols) before
you. We have become heavily involved with the daily affairs of our lives, and
have placed them first instead of placing you first. We have devoted our time to the things of
this world, instead of to the things of you.
Our plans have become superior, and we have made your plans for our lives
inferior. There are times we have become
influenced by the world’s standards for our lives, instead of influencing the
world to have and live by your standards.
We have become selfish in pleasing our own desires, instead of pleasing
your desires. Today, we want to seek
your kingdom first, and your righteousness.
We want to put your desires for our lives first. We will not place any idols before you God,
because you are first. We will not allow
the daily affairs of our lives to reign over us, for we want your affairs to
rule over us. We want to commit our
lives to you. We will commit our ways
and works to you, first. We want to
delight ourselves in you. We will
delight our ways and works in you, first.
We are hungry and thirsty for your righteousness. Lord we ask as we put you first that you will
fill (your power, anointing, spirit) us again.
We desire to return back to our first love (which is you), and as we put
you first we know that we will have and feel your love unconditionally.
