Christ at the Center: A Prayer

O Lord, why do I trust You in some areas of my life, but look for other resources when I need help in other areas? How is it possible for me to trust You for my eternal destiny and then look to the world for everything else? Please deliver me from the disease of compartmentalization, in which I merely make You one component of my life and put other things like my work, my family and my friends in other compartments. Give me the faith to truly believe that You alone must occupy the center of my being, my aspirations, my hope, my purpose, my everything. Then I will see other things from an eternal perspective and realize that everything comes from You and is for You. I want to recommit myself to the lordship of Christ in each sphere of my existence and enjoy the holy release of desiring the one thing needful above everything else.

• In what ways can we trust God for our eternal destiny and look to the world for everything else?
