Step Two To Change Your Life, "Prioritize"

Okay so you are clear about the first step to changing your life this year, “Get Started.” The second step, Jesus said, is simply a matter of putting the right things in the right places. This can simply be called, “establishing the right priorities.” Jesus said your focus should be on pursuing “righteousness” or what is right first then all the other things will fall into place (Matthew 6:33). You might say I don’t always know what the right priorities are.  Well, that is why you pray this kind of prayer.

“Lord today I come asking for you to guide me to the right priorities in my life. I will start out with what I know to be right and what I think should be first. If I am wrong then I am open to your guidance and input. You promised that you would help and bless those who were thirsty and hungry for what was right. I trust you and know that I will find it (Matthew 5:6).

My top priority for my personal life is taking care of me so that I am in shape to take care of others. I will continue to exercise, sleep enough, and eat right.

Go take charge of your life, Get Started, and Set New Priorities. Hint next time we will talk about the third step to “Changing Your Life,” watch out for “rebellion” (It can sneak up on you). Share this with a friend if you know someone it may help.
