“First, Pray” was written after a conversation with a trusted friend in the music industry about worship songs and the chaos unfolding in the world. She said something simple that stayed with me: “If people would just pray first, that would solve a lot of problems.” That phrase wouldn’t leave my mind. I began writing the song as a reminder that before reacting, before fighting, before trying to control the outcome, we should go to God first. Looking back, the message feels less like advice and more like a steady posture for life.
