To Be Driven By Eternal Rewards

Eternal Father,
When I get caught up chasing after rewards and recognition this world offers, remind me that my greatest rewards aren’t going to be received on this side of heaven. The rewards of your grace, earned and secured for me by Jesus Christ, are far superior to the best that this world could ever offer. Nevertheless, that which is immediately tangible and able to be experienced here and now so easily grabs my attention and focus. Guard me from being led astray by short-lived success. Let the joy and certainty of eternal blessings prompt my relentless drive and passion in all that I do in this life, and let it also work in me a burning zeal to be about your kingdom and your purposes. 

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

To Overcome My Lack of Motivation

Almighty God,
When I feel overwhelmed by my responsibilities, I sometimes feel like shutting down and ignoring them. Then, as those neglected responsibilities pile up, the burden feels even heavier. That’s when I really struggle to find the motivation to take care of the things I am supposed to be managing. I need your help, Lord.

Remind me that even when I feel anxious or stressed at such times, you are never overwhelmed, but always in control of all things at all times. When I don’t know where to start, your Word is always the best place possible! Then, reassured by your promises and calmed by your peace, make me ready to take the next step, whatever that may be. Free me from fixating on trying to determine what is the “right” or “most important” step, so that I take any step in the right direction. When that step then generates traction, grant me success with each step that follows. Let that momentum fuel my motivation to keep going, confident that you are still in control and will guide and bless my efforts.

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
