Keeping what's important for growth as our first, top priority... this is what we need. This is what we want in our hearts. This what brings us joy, peace, and a proper path of integrity in all things.
So what is important? Doing God's Word.
What does God's Word say about life? Well, read it to find out.
What will happen, as a result of reading? Over time, as you KEEP seeking Him, your thoughts will become His thoughts... your wants will become His desires... and your life will be bent towards doing what is right in all things. Pray for this to be so - and not just a one time deal. Over and over again. Believe in the God who made the universe, the God who holds your breath in His hand. Don't doubt.
Where do we begin to find our answers? Pray for Him to show you what you need to learn, and begin reading until you find instruction. Psalms. The Gospels. Life examples of Godly men (and women). Proverbs for wisdom. Don't stop. It may take minutes. It may take a course of hours, spread throughout your day. It may take weeks. But don't give up. Learn how to live. Practice it. Try challenging yourself to do God's commands - in all areas.
Bottom line: read the Word always.
Wake up to it, walk with it, eat with it, share it as you talk, and let it become the threads in life that keep you from falling apart at the seams.
Psalm 101:2-3
"I will behave wisely in a perfect way. Oh, when will You come to me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.
I will set nothing wicked before my eyes; I hate the work of those who fall away; It shall not cling to me."
Let this be our prayer.
