It’s always good not only to read scriptures, but to pray them. And as I read this passage today, it led me to pray. May it be your prayer today as well.
Father,
You are my God, and I am your child.
Give me integrity of heart and action so that I will fear you always, for my good, and the good of the next generation.
Thank you for the new permanent covenant we have in Jesus. Because of this new covenant, you will never turn away from doing good to me.
Put the fear of you in my heart, so that I will never again turn away from you.
In your faithfulness, and with all your heart and mind, plant me in this land. And today, may I bear fruit for you. May I be a channel of your love to those around me today.
In Jesus name, amen.
