How do I do this Christian life?

was a question I was asked.
"I think the Christian life ultimately boils down to Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness. Then all these things will be added on to you. Develop an aggresivness of pursuing God and getting people around you that are going where you want to go. Constantly spend time before our King. Wisdom is the principle thing. So go after it relentlessly. No passive complacency. Life is full of distractions. Determine to keep your focus on Christ and, like Peter walking on the water, the circumstances of life won't matter. Focus on circumstances and faith wilts and fear sets in. Doom is sometimes inevitable. This does not mean we do not do our part in whatever life throws our way. However, we live by faith. We have so very little bit of strength to live the Christian life. With the little that we have we have to use, go before the strength-giver, the One who gives us the ability to apply what we know is right. It is only by that constant dependance that life will go the way that it was meant to. On our own without God's hand all over us and His wisdom to guide us, we are a disaster waiting to happen. Hunger and thirst for God and His righteousness. Realize that real strength, real self-control only comes from Him and being in His presence. If you seek Him, you will find Him if you seek with all your heart. Go after God relentlessly daily.
