Today hit different.
This wasn’t just another Sunday. This was God pulling my focus back.
If I’m being real, lately I’ve been chasing money. Not out of greed — but out of need. My rent is due. My bills are real. I’ve been trying to make something shake just to survive.
But this morning, the Word reminded me that even good intentions can cause misalignment. Because God never told me to chase provision. He told me to chase the Kingdom.
Jesus said in Matthew 6:33:“But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.”
And in that moment, I realized I’ve been doing it backwards.I’ve been chasing the “things.”Even when I said I was trusting God — I’ve really been trying to fix it myself.
“You don’t pursue provision — provision will pursue you when your life is aligned with His agenda.”
That line hit me hard.
Let me say that again for my own soul:God’s economy honors alignment over anxiety.
And if you’ve been following my blog, you may be thinking —“Didn’t she already say she was realigning?”And the truth is… yes. I did.
Because I’ve been trying to realign for a long time.But God keeps touching my mind, showing me again and again:I’m still a work in progress.I’m still a long way from perfect.And thank God — His grace doesn’t run out.
So today, I sat in church with tears in my eyes because I’ve been carrying anxiety like it’s my job.I’ve been hustling and worrying and surviving.But I haven’t been seeking the Kingdom first.I haven’t been letting Him wear my worries.
And yet… even in my misalignment, He still meets me with mercy.
Here’s what I’m walking away with today:
The Kingdom is not a side piece — it’s the centerpiece.
When I handle God’s Kingdom, He handles my chaos.
I’m not hustling for blessings — I’m learning to walk in favor.
So no, I don’t have it all figured out.My rent is still due.But my spirit is shifting.
From anxiety to alignment.From striving to trusting.From chasing “things” to seeking the Kingdom.
I may not be where I want to be yet, but I’m turning.I’m repenting.And I’m remembering who I really am:An agent of the agenda.Clothed in righteousness.Covered by divine provision.
So if you’re reading this and you’ve been feeling like me — like your faith has been buried under bills and survival mode — I want you to know you're not alone.
But it’s time to shift.It’s time to seek Him first.It’s time to walk in what’s been promised.Because when you align your life with the Kingdom, you’ve already been added to.
God, thank You for never giving up on me. Keep touching my mind. Keep pulling me closer. Help me to seek Your Kingdom — not just when life gets hard, but as the very thing that keeps me going.
