“You must not make for yourself an idol of any kind or an image of anything in the heavens or on the earth or in the sea. 5You must not bow down to them or worship them, for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God who will not tolerate your affection for any other gods.

“Don’t be afraid,” Moses answered them, “for God has come in this way to test you, and so that your fear of him will keep you from sinning!”
Lord God my Father,
Give me courage in your presence to work out my issues with you so I may get past them and move forward as you desire. Keep me humble lifting only you to worship and not anything else. Your unconditional Love is all I desire to share, and I wish to do it as you wish.
In Jesus name I pray,
Amen
