It's so easy to get caught up with our jobs, our bills, our children, etc, and forget to make Christ the center of it all. God desires to be the foundation of our hearts. God is worthy of all praise, honor, and adoration. While we are so caught up with our lives, He is just waiting for us to make him first again. He is waiting to be magnified to a place where everything else won't even matter. Develop a routine with God. Wake up, pray, have some time with Him before you start your day. Your life will thank you for it.

Prayer:
Heavenly Father,
I thank you that you are just who you say you are. I establish you as the head of my life and my decisions. You are the king and ruler of my life. You are at the throne of my heart. So God, forgive me for putting other things first. Forgive me for making my problems an idol. Today, I make the decision to make you bigger. I magnify you and lift your name above all else. Help me to acknowledge you better. Help me to know you more. Today, I repent to you. Make me a new creature in everything that I do and say. Help me to be a light to someone today. Help me to spread the word of God in a creative way to someone who needs it. The day is yours. In Jesus name, Amen.
