Beginning
my
day
with
God’s
Word
grounds
me
in
His
promises
and
prepares
me
for
the
future.
Matthew
6:33
reminds
us,
“Seek
first
His
kingdom
and
His
righteousness,
and
all
these
things
will
be
added
to
you.”
This
verse
assures
us
that,
even
amidst
responsibilities
and
stress,
God
faithfully
provides
for
His
children
when
we
honor
Him.
Prayer
is
equally
essential
while
reading
God’s
Word,
which
enables
me
to
approach
God
in
humility
and
weakness.
As
the
all-powerful,
sovereign Creator, I am reminded to trust in His wisdom.
Paul’s
request
in
Colossians
4:3-4
further
highlights
the
need
for
prayer.
Paul
begs
the
Colossians,
despite
his
shackles,
to
pray
for
the
gospel’s
doors
to
open
rather
than
the
prison’s.
“3
praying
at
the
same
time
for
us
as
well,
that
God
will
open
up
to
us
a
door
for
the
word,
so
that
we
may
speak
forth
the
mystery
of
Christ,
for
which
I
have
also
been
imprisoned;
4
that
I
may
make
it
clear
in
the
way
I
ought
to
speak.”
His
steadfast
focus
on
Christ,
in
the
face
of
adversity,
motivates
me
to
approach
prayer
with
the
same
fervor
and
intensity.
Paul’s
determination
stirs
my
heart,
reminding
me
of
the
power of prayer and the privilege we have to share Christ’s love.
As
a
chiropractor,
I
view
my
role
as
a
unique
stewardship—caring
for
people
physically,
emotionally,
and
most
importantly,
spiritually.
Each
patient
interaction
is
an
opportunity
to
reflect
Christ’s
love.
Beyond
addressing
physical
needs,
I
aim
to
cultivate
meaningful
conversations
that
plant
seeds
of
truth.
By
God’s
grace,
the
joy
of
knowing
Christ
overflows
into
my
care
for
those
He
has
placed
around
me.
My
greatest
challenge
is
finding
the
tact
and
wisdom
to
communicate
the
life-giving
message
of
Jesus’
victory
over
death
and
the
call
to
repentance.
Yet,
I
draw
strength
from
Galatians
6:8-9:
“For
the
one
who
sows
to
his
own
flesh
will
from
the
flesh
reap
corruption,
but
the
one
who
sows
to
the
Spirit
will
from
the
Spirit
reap
eternal
life.
Let
us
not
lose
heart
in
doing
good,
for
in
due
time
we
will
reap
if
we do not grow weary.”
These
verses
serve
as
a
continual
source
of
encouragement
when
I
feel
weary
or
overwhelmed.
They
remind
me
that
perseverance
in
prayer
and
faithful
action
is
not
in
vain,
for
God
is
the
one
who
grows
the
seeds
we
plant.
I
am
able
to
persevere
because
I
have
faith
in
His
strength
and
supply,
knowing
that
His
eternal
purposes
will
prevail.
Through
deliberate
service
and
prayerful
dependence,
I
seek
to
glorify
God
in
my
work
and
seize
each
opportunity
to
lead
people
to
the
hope
that is found in Christ..
