Nehemiah 1:1-11 & Matthew 6:7-15 (ESV) - We all know that not everything can get done all at once. You might have five things to tackle, all of them good or helpful, but you can’t do all of them at once. You have to prioritize. The most important or immediately vital thing gets tackled first, the extra project with a later deadline gets set to the side for now. We do the same thing when we pray to the Lord. When we bring our concerns to Him, we do so according to what is important in our hearts. What we consider vital or meaningful, that is what we pray for. But what should we be praying for? What should we consider to be of first importance? What does the Lord teach us about Himself through our prayers? As we continue in Jesus’ instructions on how to pray, let us consider the content of our petitions. And let us ask that the Lord would teach us how to put His glory above and before all of our desires.
