God First

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.
