Deuteronomy 6

" 4 Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one. 5 Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. 6 These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. 7 Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. 8 Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. 9 Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates.

10 When the LORD your God brings you into the land he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, to give you—a land with large, flourishing cities you did not build, 11 houses filled with all kinds of good things you did not provide, wells you did not dig, and vineyards and olive groves you did not plant—then when you eat and are satisfied, 12 be careful that you do not forget the LORD, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.

13 Fear the LORD your God, serve him only and take your oaths in his name. 14 Do not follow other gods, the gods of the peoples around you; 15 for the LORD your God, who is among you, is a jealous God and his anger will burn against you, and he will destroy you from the face of the land. 16 Do not test the LORD your God as you did at Massah. 17 Be sure to keep the commands of the LORD your God and the stipulations and decrees he has given you. 18 Do what is right and good in the LORD's sight, so that it may go well with you and you may go in and take over the good land that the LORD promised on oath to your forefathers, 19 thrusting out all your enemies before you, as the LORD said. "

Lord,
Please forgive me for sometimes not loving you with ALL of my heart. Sometimes you just seem to miss those little spots that go unnoticed. Holy Spirit, I thank you that you are revealing those spots to me. Those few little spots that still have room to change. Daily habits, idle time. I ask for your creativity, Lord, in ways I can use my time wisely in a way that will Glorify you. Holy Spirit, I ask for supernatural energy from you today, seeing as how I'm going to be running off of just a few hours of sleep. I pray there's no falling asleep for me until the time calls for it! I love how it says in your word that you will give all these blessings, wells I haven't dug, cities I did not build, houses filled with things I did not provide. Proof enough to stand on that YOU are my economy. I pray that I don't fear what will happen to me in the future. I pray that my faith only grows in you more as I wait to see how you will work all things out for me. On a side note, I pray for the supernatural healing of grinding my teeth, creating tension in my jaw. Please heal it in the name of Jesus. Be with me today, Lord. I can't wait to get my spirit fed at church this morning. Lord, I bless Holly and Justin as they are getting married today, I pray against rain seeing as how it's an outdoor wedding, and I speak a peace over the whole day. Lord, may today be a joyous day! In your precious name I pray...

Amen.
