Father, forgive us for relying on our wisdom, strength, energy, and ideas rather than abiding in You and seeking You first. Help us lay aside anything that hinders us from pursuing Your best.

Help us walk by Your strength and bring You great glory in our generation. In Jesus' name, amen.

Praying with an unrepentant heart. The psalmist realized, "If I had cherished sin in my heart, the LORD would not have listened; but God has surely listened and heard my voice in prayer" (Psalm 66:18—19 NIV).
