As Believers, we must ensure that the Kingdom is our most important priority.
Whatever you are seekingāwhether itās a job, business growth, or marriageāthe principle remains: Seek first the Kingdom of God. Matthew 6:33

The ultimate goal of prayer should always be to the glory of God, not our personal gratification.
