Jesus Comes First

Psalm 37:4

Delight yourself in the Lord and  he will give you the desires of your heart

••••••••••••••

My Lord and my Savior God….

In everything I do I want to put you first. I have big hopes and dreams and I know you can help me by directing my path, so that I can become successful. It is not always easy in our world to always put you first. I want to….but the world, the flesh and the devil try to block my closeness with you. Sometimes I let other things slip into the time I’ve set aside for my communion and special time with you. I know that you know I am human, and that you don’t expect me to be perfect, but if I slip on a few occasions, then it can become a habit. Then I must learn to discipline myself,  so I am careful not to keep You from being my “first love.”

I know that putting you first, is not a rule; but it is a way to live more joyfully and more abundantly. My Lord….I want very much for you to help me with my steps. I want to make you my top priority so that the “other” things will fall into their proper place. I want to always please you first, and walk in the Light of your presence with me. I know you will open the path ahead of me, so that I can receive your encouragement and reach my true potential and achieve success.

Proverbs 3:6

In everything you do, put God first, and he will direct you and crown your efforts with success.


Prayer

Jesus… in everything I do

help me to always put you first. 

I want to always walk in your Light.

Tonight as I offer Lenten reflection, let me clearly remind myself of the strength I take in to my entire being, as I humbly contemplate your manger and your cross. Lay it in my humble heart…. the wonder of your heroic surrender, so that I might cast off all pride and share in the cup of your tears. How can I know. How can I truly know your suffering. This was your divine love for me. Tonight I reflect in total silence and prayer. Amen my Father God.  AMEN

Hear me, my loving father God……you are in me, and I am in You. I feel it. It is a mystery to me. You always are there to uphold me. But I fall short Lord Jesus. Your divine presence is deep in me even when I may feel lost. I have no human relationship that can take this place. I know that even people who are married cannot know all the thoughts and feelings of their spouse, but I know that you know everything about me. You even know my tomorrow. As your child, I know that my feelings of aloneness and are not so. They are a false belief.

In You Lord Jesus, I live and move and have my entire being. Being joined with You, makes every moment of my life meaningful. I humbly thank you now, for your presence and for making me alive and so very complete. Amen.  

Jesus, Thank You for my beautiful day……

Good Evening my Lord and my God, 

Thank you Jesus for a very fruitful day today with very productive work, I enjoyed beautiful early morning weather, and moist soil in which to make my contributions in the yards where I am working. The rain you provided was generous and so welcome. Thank you for your living waters. I made very good progress today. I am so grateful Father.

I want you to hear me tonight as I humbly confide in you for guidance. Jesus, help me to trust you with my decisions and my future. I want to lean on you with all my heart. My own understanding of my future may be less than perfect. I know you want your very best for me. I ask for your clear guidance in my life Lord. I submit myself to you because I know you will lovingly direct my path. I know your direction is always the best and your perfect way. Jesus hear my prayer tonight. In Christ Jesus, my Savior and my God. I give you my whole life. You are my life and I love you. Amen
