Prayer based on Matthew 22:5. Themes: Neglect, Priorities, Materialism.

Dear Lord, please help me to never make light of your word and your calling in my life. May I always prioritize your will above my own desires and pursuits. Keep me from being distracted by the things of this world and help me to focus on your kingdom. Amen.

Verse: But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his merchandise;
Matthew 22:5

This is a Command. The verse is a warning to not make light of the invitation to the kingdom of heaven.
