For out of the heart come evil thoughts—murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander.

He replied, “It is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.”

Lord God my Father,

Your law brings peace and order. Lord God, place your Truth on my heart and give me confidence and courage to share it well. Protect me from my evil desires and purify my spirit do do your will. Give me faith that brings your way into my thoughts and actions. Help me to see past my limited way.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
