Seek His Kingdom

Weekly Prayer Tip:

“But seek his kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well” (Luke 12:31 ).

Your daily prayer time lays the groundwork for an ongoing awareness of His presence. This week, during your prayer time, ask Him to alert you and call your attention to “kingdom moments” throughout your day. Watch for opportunities to enjoy fellowship with Him—waiting in lines, performing mundane tasks, for example. Being consciously aware of His presence will transform life’s irritants into opportunities for fellowship with Him.

Those are indeed words of wisdom. It took me a LONG time to figure out that one of the key purposes of prayer is to build/maintain an "ongoing awareness of His presence". Sometimes we pray like we are helping God, like we are doing something for Him. The truth is, we need prayer a lot more than He does. Thanks for the reminder!

I like what u said about groundwork. "Your daily prayer time lays the groundwork for an ongoing awareness of His presence."
Not only that, it also lays a groundwork, for God's work and plan to be built on.
