HIS Story

Pray First


Listen Later

Too often, prayer becomes our last resort—something we turn to when nothing else works. But Jesus modeled a different approach: prayer as our first response, not our last resort.

In this episode of HIS Story, we contrast the reactive prayer of King Saul with the proactive posture of Nehemiah, explore the transformative “Pray First” pattern, and reflect on how beginning each day with surrender brings peace, clarity, and strength.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Make prayer your first response in every situation
  • Root your day in God’s promises and presence
  • Pray Scripture with boldness and trust
  • Start each morning as a living sacrifice (Romans 12:1–2)


Plus, we close with a timeless reminder from the beloved hymn “I Need Thee Every Hour.”


Let’s stop reacting—and start responding.

Let’s pray first.
