“Seeking God’s kingdom first”

Give praise to the LORD; he has heard my cry for help.

[Psalms 28:6 GNT]

Alexsis says:

I have been going through a lot in my life lately. Emotions ranging from anger towards the world, to deep depression, self pity, and at times I even became mad at God. I broke down one morning and cried out to God, not only to heal my heart and give me peace, but I asked that he would send me somebody: a friend, or anyone - someone who loves Him, and lives for Him, and that I would find a good church as well, to grow in Him.

Two days later I went grocery shopping and as I was reading the aisle labels a young man passed me and asked how I was doing. I non nonchalantly said “hi,” not even looking his way. I kept walking but then he called me and asked if I wanted to go to his church. I got the directions, the pastors number, and I intend to go this Sunday.

But God is so awesome, HE HEARD MY CRY. I don’t know why he asked me, but God put us together at that right moment. With this revelation I pant for the Lord. I now know to consult him in everything, and to seek his kingdom first.

My problems that I have been experiencing have been marital. I don’t know where God wants to take me, but I do know that he wants ME. I can pray pray pray for my marriage and my family, but at the end of the day GOD wants ME, and he wants to change ME first before he saves anything. I don’t know where He is taking our marriage, but I do still continue to pray that He would direct my husbands path, and soften his heart to let Him in. But mostly I ask God to change me: take away any harsh feelings I have, make my heart pure, make me a better person all around, and give me the power to forgive.

Pray for me as well.
