\"\"<\/h3>\n

Scripture:<\/h3>\n

“Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things shall be added to you”<\/p>\n

Matthew 6:33<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Observation:<\/h3>\n

Ask God for guidance<\/p>\n

Act on it honestly<\/p>\n

All you need (and want) will be provided.<\/p>\n

Application:<\/h3>\n

I don’t believe this says that all I ask for I will be given always. I believe that what is being said is that when I truly seek the kingdom of God, my priorities will be in alignment with His wishes for me.\u00a0 When that happens, my desires will also be in alignment. He will provide what is right.<\/p>\n

Prayer:<\/h3>\n

Father God,<\/p>\n

Lover of my soul. I am trying to seek you and your will in all I do. In some cases, I am rocking that and in others, eek! I am falling quite short.\u00a0 I don’t always act in your will and follow your direction.\u00a0 I recognize that isn’t right and I want to correct that.<\/p>\n

I need you to guide me in seeing and doing your will, as I’m not doing well solo.\u00a0 It is frustrating when I slip up… and I bet there are many times I slip up without even realizing it! I want to seek your kingdom first.\u00a0 I want that to be my priority.\u00a0 I know that doing so will align all much better.<\/p>\n

Will you please help me?\u00a0 Show me when I’m wandering.\u00a0 Correct my path, my intent and my action.<\/p>\n

With you all is possible.\u00a0 With you, I will seek only you.\u00a0 You are the ultimate authority and I want to follow you alone.<\/p>\n

Thank you for loving me and this promise that in seeking you all my needs will be added.\u00a0 Guide me as I seek to live this out.\u00a0 Thank you for your provision and this promise that when I truly seek you first all I need and desire will be provided. That’s powerful, exciting stuff!!<\/p>\n

Thank you, Father. In your son’s glorious name I pray, Amen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
