An undivided heart

Teach me your way, Lord,
and I will live by your truth.
Give me an undivided mind to fear your name.

I will praise you with all my heart, Lord my God,
and will honor your name forever.

For your faithful love for me is great,
and you rescue my life from the depths of Sheol. (Psalm 86:11-13)

How often is my heart undivided?

How often is it distracted by my worries and anxieties?

How often is it pulled away by sin and the things of this world?

Lord, your faithful love for me is great. You have rescued my soul from death and hell.

Though I am unfaithful, you are always faithful to me.

So Lord, give me an undivided heart. Take each of my thoughts captive. Take all my worries, every sinful thought, all my affections, and bring them under your rule.

Let my whole heart be yours so that I may worship and honor you every day in everything I do.

In Jesus’ name, amen.
