They wouldn’t obey my regulations even though obedience would have given them life. They also violated my Sabbath days.

You say, ‘We want to be like the nations all around us, who serve idols of wood and stone.

Lord God,
Place in my heart and obsession to only follow you. Place in me a strength to ignore my way that separates me from you. Protect me from the ways of this world.
In In Jesus name,
Amen
