“As for me, I stayed on the mountain in the Lord’s presence for forty days and nights, as I had done the first time. And once again the Lord listened to my pleas and agreed not to destroy you. 11Then the Lord said to me, ‘Get up and resume the journey,

And you must always obey the Lord’s commands and decrees that I am giving you today for your own good.

Therefore, change your hearts10:16 Hebrew circumcise the foreskin of your hearts. and stop being stubborn.

“Look, today I am giving you the choice between a blessing and a curse! 27You will be blessed if you obey the commands of the Lord your God that I am giving you today. 28But you will be cursed if you reject the commands of the Lord your God and turn away from him and worship gods you have not known before.

Lord God my Father,

I pray for our nation, for it to get back under your blessing. Help me to be a good witness to you and cause others to seek you. Make us stubborn to only follow you if we are to be stubborn. Help me to follow your design over my own decisions.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
