A Prayer for Seeking God

[prismaticbleed]

 God, thank You for seeking ME first, by sending Your Son to save me from living death. Thank You for loving me even when I didn't want to love You. Thank You for devotedly pursuing a relationship with me, no matter how many times I ignored, spurned, or even rejected Your holy courtship. 

Jesus, my Lord and my God, You are everything to me. 

I want to seek You first each day, before my thoughts turn to anything else. I want to meet You the moment I wake up, and I want to keep You close all day. 

Please be a part of every decision, every thought, every word, and every action I have. 

My life is Yours.

God, I have faith that You are with me in hard times, and protect me at all times. 

My future is secure in You because I am Your child-- and a Father ALWAYS watches over their child, and does what is best for them, no matter what. 

So today, I give my life, and every day in it, over to You. 

Teach me to seek You first today-- like a kid who always gets their dad's advice & approval before making a choice-- so that I can embrace the abundant life that You alone offer me. 

In Jesus' name, Amen.
