Kingdom Prayer Focus

Father, we thank you that your word is truth and that everything in our lives is directly related to your word. Remind us to stay committed to the Christian life and to follow you completely. Help us to forget about ourselves and to look to you for every decision. We want to walk in your will and in your way. Oh, how often we fail, as our faith waivers in our daily walk. Forgive us when we take our eyes off you as we look around at our circumstances. We think that we are strong enough and smart enough to fix our own problems. Teach us to walk in your ways moment by moment! Lord, help us as we strive to give all our adoration and love to you. In Jesus’ name, amen.
