Ask God First

Philippians 4:13
"13 I can do all things through Matthew 6:33 ESV / 2,397 helpful votes Helpful Not Helpful
Matthew 6:33 "But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.Christ who strengthens me."
Not what I want to do but what Christ has for me to do.
Always read the context of the passage and then the context of the entire Bible to find the meaning.
Too many Christians use this verse to justify getting their own way or fantasizing about doing things God never wanted them to do.
1 Chronicles 16:11
"Seek the Lord and his strength; seek his presence continually!"
Jeremiah 29:13
"You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart."
Psalm 34:10
"The young lions suffer want and hunger; but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing."
Psalm 119:10
"With my whole heart I seek you; let me not wander from your commandments!"
If we love Christ we seek Him for His will not our own worldly desires. We may ask Him to help us with things in this world but we must always ask for His Perfect Will.
