Today, our focus is Seek First the Kingdom.

Let us pray, Faithful Lord, thank you for your constant provision and steadfast love in our work life.

As we begin this week, help us to set our priorities according to your will. Give us clarity to discern what truly matters and the courage to honor you in every business decision and interaction.

Let your kingdom values guide our ambitions and shape our response to workplace demands.

Open our eyes to opportunities to serve, uplift, and witness with your love for those around us.

We surrender our personal dreams, goals, and ambitions to your hands, trusting your greater plan and purpose for our lives.

Remind us daily that as we put you first, you promise to provide for all our needs—spiritually, emotionally, relationally, and financially.

Help us to trust your timing and faithfulness, even when outcomes are uncertain.

Let our work be a testament to your goodness and a reflection of your kingdom on earth.

Use our lives to bring your hope, encouragement, and light to the workplace.

We commit this week to you, seeking for more of the glory of God to come to the earth as it is in heaven. Amen.

Faithful God, as we gather for the third Wednesday of Lent, we come with honest hearts, aware of the setbacks and struggles we each carry.

Thank you for the unshakeable promise of Romans 8:28—that you work all things together for good for those who love you.

In every trial, disappointment, and obstacle, remind us that you are not distant, but right beside us, weaving purpose from pain and hope from hardship.

Lord, help us to see our setbacks not as defeats, but as setups for your comeback in our lives. When doors close or dreams are delayed, plant in us the truth that you are still in control and that your plans are always for our good.

Papa God, give us the courage to trust you when the way forward seems unclear and to look for the lessons and blessings hidden in every challenge. Strengthen our faith so that our struggles become stepping stones, shaping us for greater things ahead.

May our hearts be open to share our testimonies, so others may find encouragement and hope in their own valleys.

Turn every trial into a testimony of your faithfulness, and let us walk forward with renewed confidence and joy. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Challenge: Share a testimony or word of encouragement with someone facing a hard time this week, whether in person, over the phone, or by text or social media. Be an encourager today.

Let’s go. Turning Setbacks into Comebacks: Finding Triumph in Trials!
