One heart

For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.15But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.

“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?

“Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.

A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of.

Lord God my Father,

Restore my heart to your design, remove my desire to shape things to my way. Keep me in your Truth that you have it all under your authority. Allow your Truth to guide my actions to be faithful to serve those who seek you. Give me the heart you desire me to carry.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

His desire alone

But I tell you that anyone who is angry with a brother or sister5:22 The Greek word for brother or sister (adelphos) refers here to a fellow disciple, whether man or woman; also in verse 23.5:22 Some manuscripts brother or sister without cause will be subject to judgment.

And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make even one hair white or black.37All you need to say is simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything beyond this comes from the evil one.

Lord God my Father,

Keep check on my heart, help me to learn to keep every thought captive and only act on thoughts in your Truth. Keep me from judging others when I am such a sinner. Help me to only follow your desire in me.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Whole

How can you believe since you accept glory from one another but do not seek the glory that comes from the only God

Then he said to the man, “Stretch out your hand. “So he stretched it out and it was completely restored, just as sound as the other. 14But the Pharisees went out and plotted how they might kill Jesus.

Lord God my Father,

Make me Holey, cause me to your will. Soften my stubborn heart and free me from my compromised way.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
