Kingdom Prayer Focus

Father, you tell us to seek Your Kingdom above all else and to live righteously, and you will give us everything we need. Help us to remember that the Kingdom we are seeking ultimately determines the king we are serving. Wake us up from our slumber and remind us that the only true fulfillment we need is from your kingdom. Forgive our choices and our actions when we look elsewhere for the answers to what plagues our nation. Remind us that if we aim to be true kingdom seekers, then we should live to please Jesus, we must learn to think like Jesus, and above all – we must love like Jesus. Give us the strength to offer ourselves as living sacrifices and to stand and defeat evil with good. Then guide us as we fully immerse ourselves in our Lord Jesus, the Anointed One. As we put on the armor of light, we ask you to walk by our side and lead us into true and proper worship. In Jesus Mighty Name, amen.
