Jesus, be the center

I think an important prayer for us to pray could simply be said in these words: Jesus, be the center.

What is central to us is another way of saying what is our god. Or we could say it is what is most important to us in determining how we should live. For many it is whatever is motivating them to do what they do, whether noble or not.

We can pray this prayer for all of life, for everything we encounter. I see it as a biblical prayer because it is through Jesus that we come to God, and it is through him that we have fellowship in the communion of the triune God: Father, Son and Spirit.

This prayer also helps center us in a Christian way, and helps remove ourselves from the center. It's no longer what we think, want and will, but it's about God's will for us in Jesus.

It is a prayer of faith, asking Jesus to be the center. Let's do that and keep doing it, asking Jesus to have his rightful place in our lives.
