Day 17: PRAY HIS AGENDA FIRST
“…YOUR KINGDOM COME. YOUR WILL BE DONE ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN…”
Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
Romans 12:2 NIV
We know God’s will is perfect, and we acknowledge His wisdom and sovereignty when we pray His agenda first.
Spend time focusing on what God is focused on. His priorities include:
- The whole world to know Jesus
- Blessing for those in authority—parental, spiritual, governmental, work-related, school
- Caring for the poor
- The Church around the world
- Freedom for those in bondage
- Accomplishing His purpose in our lives
— PAUSE & PRAY —
End your time with the 3 most important questions for every Jesus follower:
- What is God saying to me from this prayer time? What is standing out?
- What is God inviting me to do in response? How can I take a small step in following Jesus in this way this week?
- Who is God putting on my heart to share this with? How can I reach out to them today?
Closing Prayer
Father, help me to live this day to the full, being true to You, in every way.
Jesus, help me to give myself away to others, being kind to everyone I meet.
Spirit, help me to love the lost, proclaiming Christ in all I do and say.
Amen.
