God, in the midst of the busyness of my days, I come before You in silence and humility. I acknowledge that so often I’ve become occupied with many things and neglected what is most important: Your presence. Forgive me for every time I’ve placed You second, allowing tasks, responsibilities, and distractions to dominate my heart. Today, I ask You: teach me to pause, to hear Your voice, and to prioritize seeking Your presence above all else.
I want to seek You with a whole and available heart. I know it’s not You who moves away—it’s me who gets distracted by the noise of this world and changes my steps. I want to learn from Mary, who chose to sit at Your feet, rather than follow the path of Martha’s busyness. I know Martha longed to serve and welcome You well into her home, but give me the wisdom to reorganize my life and time around what truly matters: communion with You.
Father, I no longer want to offer You what’s left over. I desire to give You my best—my first thoughts in the morning, my attention throughout the day, and my rest in the evening. May Your Word dwell richly within me and transform each ordinary moment into a sacred moment of worship. As it says in Matthew 6:33, help me to seek first Your Kingdom, trusting that all other things will be added unto me.
Guide my steps and calm my heart. Help me to discern what is urgent from what is eternal. Teach me to keep my eyes fixed on Jesus, even when the world tries to distract me. May my routine be filled with Your presence, and may my work, my family, my studies, and my relationships all be lived in the light of Your grace.
Lord, I thank You for Your patience and constant love. Thank You for never giving up on me, even when I forget You. Today, I choose to slow down and rest in Your arms. May my life be a daily response to Your love. Stay with me, God, and teach me to walk with You in every detail of my day.
In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
