Summary
“But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well” (Matthew 6:33)
As we inch towards a new year, many of us are considering our goals and priorities. Some of us are coming up with our word of the year. That seemed to be the trend that started a few years back—pick one word to focus on for the entire year. I’ve heard people choose words like love, intentional, joy, courage, prayerful.
But what if our word was simply, God?
What would our year look like if we chose to focus on God before everything else?
This week, let’s pray that our kids will love God with their whole hearts and make seeking him their first priority every day this coming year and every year.
Father God, I pray that ______________ would choose you this year. Give _________ an undivided heart and teach them your ways. I pray they would wake up every day and decide that honoring you and deepening their relationship with you would be their first priority. When it is tempting to choose something else over you, remind them that you are the same yesterday, today, and forever and that you want their whole heart. Amen.
