Take 2-3 minutes to quiet yourself and ask God to speak to you today through your devotional time.
Reading: Colossians 1:15-18, Matthew 6:33
Be sure to highlight or note anything that stands out to you while you read.
After reading the passage, take the next 5-10 minutes and spend time reflecting on what you read. You can write these things down in a journal or record them in your phone. Be attentive to both what you highlighted in the passage and what is going on in your life.
Jesus is not just part of our lives—He is over everything. He is above our worries, our plans, and our desires. When we truly place Him first, everything else falls into place. Are you allowing Jesus to be Lord over every part of your life?
Is Jesus truly first in your life, or are there things you need to surrender to Him?
Now, take 10 minutes to seek God in prayer…
- Begin your time in prayer by taking 1-3 minutes to sit in silence (You can take longer if you sense the Spirit already beginning to speak to you).
- Pray through the things you sensed God speaking to you through the Scriptures or pray the following prayer: Jesus, I declare that You are over everything in my life. Help me to trust You fully and surrender every area to Your will. Amen.
- Close by taking 5 minutes to sit in silence, asking God if there is anything else He wants to speak to you today.
Take Action:
Identify one area of your life that you need to fully surrender to Jesus today. Take an intentional step to place Him above that situation.
