Seek First

"But seek ye first His kingdom, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." - Matthew 6:33

Prayer will be answered if it aims at letting Christ have the first place in all things. Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and God will add to us all our needs. May we transform the time of praying for our needs into a time of praying for God's affairs. God will then hear the prayer we have uttered - that is, prayer for the things of God; but He will also hear the prayer we have not uttered - that is, prayer for our own affairs. If we would ask first that the Lord receive His, He would cause us to receive ours too. One of the sweet experiences in the life of a Christian is to have prayer continually answered.
