The Daily Dose 0002

Too often, you might treat prayer as a last resort, something you turn to only when all other options have failed. But God commands you to be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Instead of making prayer your final move, make it your first priority. By praying before you act, you place your trust in God from the very beginning, inviting His wisdom and strength into every decision and action. Prayer isn't just for moments of desperation; it's the foundation of a life lived in close connection with God.

When you pray before doing anything else, you're choosing to seek God's guidance rather than relying solely on your own understanding. This isn't a passive approach; it's a bold declaration that you trust God more than you trust yourself. By making prayer your first step, you open yourself to divine direction and the peace that comes from knowing you're not walking alone. God is not just an emergency contact but an active participant in your daily life, pray like it.

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight."
— Proverbs 3:5-6
