A prayer for God's will to be done by Tiffany Tabault, read by Leah Martin.

Your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven, Matthew 610.

Today is a new day, a fresh start.

Yesterday is gone, and there isn't a whole lot we can do to change anything that happened.

However, today is a fresh chance to live differently.

Before their feet even hit the floor, most people are already planning their day, their activities,

and reviewing things on their to-do list from the moment they wake up.

Life is busy, and things need to be taken care of, such as the habit of most of us.

When we become Christians, many of us look to the Lord for each big decision.

We approached prayer with a hunger to have God take care of our stuff.

We sought out wisdom from the Scriptures, and we were on fire till it, God be God.

We were excited to see God do things his way.

One time passed, and our focus fell from all of God to just some of God.

Perhaps as the years have gone by, we've prayed a little less for our needs.

Perhaps we've sought out Christian mentors less and less as we continue to our habits

of working, planning, and accomplishing things.

And somewhere along the way, we lost our God focus.

We reverted to our daily habits of doing all the stuff we need to do to get through

our days, and now we find ourselves joyless, frustrated, and running on empty.

How many of us are counting the days until certain events, such as graduations, weddings,

vacations, retirement?

How many of us, though, are inviting the Lord into all of these plans?
