Day 3 – Shifting the Focus
Scripture:
“Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name.”
— Matthew 6:9
Devotional Thought:
Prayer becomes heavy when it’s all about us. Our needs, our problems, our lists. But prayer was designed to shift our eyes from ourselves to God. When Jesus taught His disciples to pray, He began with worship: “Our Father… hallowed be Your name.”
When you fix your eyes on who He is, the weight of your problems grows lighter. Prayer becomes less about burden-carrying and more about God-encountering.
Prayer:
Father, lift my eyes off myself and fix them on You. Teach me to begin every prayer with worship, not worry. Amen.
Reflection/Action Step:
Start your prayer today by worshipping God for 5 minutes—sing, speak, or write out praise. Notice how your perspective shifts.
