Isaiah 33:22 For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our lawgiver, the Lord is our king; it is he who will save us. 
Dear God, I have a lot of friends and family in crisis right now. I was praying with my wife yesterday and the list of bot marriages in trouble and individuals who are facing something difficult just seems huge. 

So according to this, you are our judge, law giver, king, and savior. Well, I know some people who are obviously breaking your laws who are in a world of trouble, and I know some who have seemingly done nothing wrong who are facing tragedy. And then there’s me. Where am I on the scale of obedience to your law? Certainly not perfect. Where am I on the scale of facing trouble? I have areas of my life that need your rescuing and redemption, but I know many who are worse off than me. Where am I in submitting to your kingship? Much like following the law, in at least trying, but I’m certainly not perfect. 

Father, help me to keep it simple today. I have some challenges to figure out at work. Make my path straight. I have some problems within my family to address. Make my path straight. I have things I know you want me to accomplish. Make them obvious to me. And please help me to seek your kingship/lordship over my life in every way so that I might face everything in my path for your glory. 

In Jesus’ name I pray,

Amen
