As people, as Christians what you and I need today in order to abide in God is not difficult.
We don't need more time, more energy or more money!
To abide in Christ, to seek God requires we committ our heart and mind to Christ above ALL else in life.
Dr. John Barnett discusses what every Christian really needs today.

What Every Christian Really Needs Today--We Need Cleansing, Protection, & Seek God Daily
"GOD SUMMARIZES WHAT WE NEED TO LIVE
Our Father, Focus Me:
Because we are so weak, fearful, and distracted, we need to pause each day and reorient our life to Who God really is. We need God to focus our hearts upon His Majesty. Lord, I want to Worship You, so focus me on how great You are today.
Your Kingdom, Control Me:
Because we so easily want our own way. As Isaiah 53:6 says, we each turn to our own way by habit. That’s just how we are wired. So we need to pause each day to surrender our body back to God’s control, and then reaffirm our trust in His plans. Lord, I want You to Control me, so I surrender to your control today.
Your Will, Lead Me:
Because we are so easily misled and confused, and needy of help to find our way in life, and we are so unable to know the future that we really need daily guidance. Lord, I want You to Guide me, so I will seek to follow You today.
Daily Bread, Supply Me:
Because we are so temporary, frail, insufficient, and unable to even go without sleep for very long. I need to pause each day to ask God to give me what I need to not just survive today but be filled and satisfied. Lord, I feed me daily bread by Your Word, to supply me so I see Your Hand in my life.
Forgive Us, Cleanse Me:
Because we are so prone to bumps, scrapes, and wounds that easily get infected with bitterness. So I need to pause and seek the cleansing forgiveness You give for all my sins against You. Lord, I want to experience the healing that comes through releasing all my hurts and injuries to Your care and receiving the joy of being completely forgiven and forgiving.
Deliver Us, Protect Me:
Because we are so vulnerable, and the spirit world is so filled with enemies and dangers that I need to pause each day and arm myself for survival and victory each day, as I invite You to Deliver me. Lord, protect me by clothing me with Your armor, I want to put on Christ and allow you to protect me.
Yours Is, Empty Me:
Because we are so prone to pride, self-sufficiency, and self-focus we need to pause and ask to be emptied of cultivating a self-driven life. Lord, empty me of pride and overflow me with Your presence as I clothe myself with humility.' from video introduction
