Without distraction

Do the same if you find your neighbor’s donkey, clothing, or anything else your neighbor loses. Don’t ignore your responsibility.

“A woman must not put on men’s clothing, and a man must not wear women’s clothing. Anyone who does this is detestable in the sight of the Lord your God.

Lord God my Father,

Help me with my integrity, keep me from wondering. Help me to love people as they are and direct them to your perfect plan.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Confident

He must always keep that copy with him and read it daily as long as he lives. That way he will learn to fear the Lord his God by obeying all the terms of these instructions and decrees. 20This regular reading will prevent him from becoming proud and acting as if he is above his fellow citizens. It will also prevent him from turning away from these commands in the smallest way.

if you always love the Lord your God and walk in his ways.

 Do not lose heart or panic or tremble before them. 4For the Lord your God is going with you! He will fight for you against your enemies, and he will give you victory!’

Lord God my Father,

Keep your word powerfully on my heart. Help me to witness your way well. Help me to love you well and draw others to you and not me. Allow your confidence to drive my attitude this day.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

I am His

for you are set apart as holy to the Lord your God.

You must never twist justice or show partiality.

Lord God my Father,

You are creator and own everything. The fact that you love me and know me is overwhelming. Thank you for being so close and bringing delight to me in all things. Keep me close and may I represent you well.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

All in.

“But be careful. Don’t let your heart be deceived so that you turn away from the Lord and serve and worship other gods. 17If you do, the Lord’s anger will burn against you.

“So commit yourselves wholeheartedly to these words of mine. 

Lord God my Father,

Make me aware of distractions that draw me away from you, and keep me close. Help me to stay in your will and committed wholeheartedly to you.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

One heart, His

Remember how the Lord your God led you through the wilderness for these forty years, humbling you and testing you to prove your character, and to find out whether or not you would obey his commands.

Beware that in your plenty you do not forget the Lord your God and disobey his commands,

He did all this so you would never say to yourself, ‘I have achieved this wealth with my own strength and energy.’

Please overlook the stubbornness and the awful sin of these people, and remember instead your servants Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. 28If you destroy these people, the Egyptians will say, “The Israelites died because the Lord wasn’t able to bring them to the land he had promised to give them.”

 He requires only that you fear the Lord your God, and live in a way that pleases him, and love him and serve him with all your heart and soul.

Therefore, change your hearts and stop being stubborn.

Lord God my Father,

Lead me through my struggles and supply my needs. Keep me from taking credit for what I have, but to give you the glory. Keep my heart in your control and away from darkness. Help me to live to please you alone. Open my heart fo only follow you.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

One God

“You must not have any other god but me.

But I lavish unfailing love for a thousand generations on those who love me and obey my commands.

Oh, that they would always have hearts like this, that they might fear me and obey all my commands! 

For we will be counted as righteous when we obey all the commands the Lord our God has given us.’

Do not let your daughters and sons marry their sons and daughters, 4for they will lead your children away from me to worship other gods. 

Do not bring any detestable objects into your home, for then you will be destroyed, just like them. You must utterly detest such things, for they are set apart for destruction.

Lord God my Father,

You alone are God, keep my heart close so I may follow only you. Allow my love of you to be my strength. Allow your way to be seen by me and keep me on your path. Protect me from distractions and make me pure in your sight.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Secure

Do not be afraid of the nations there, for the Lord your God will fight for you.’

Do not add to or subtract from these commands I am giving you. Just obey the commands of the Lord your God that I am giving you.

Do not make idols of any shape or form, for the Lord your God has forbidden this.

“He showed you these things so you would know that the Lord is God and there is no other. 

Lord God my Father,

Keep me secure and free from fear, you are a god of peace. Keep me in your word and comfortable with your desire. Protect me from having a wondering mind and satisfied with you alone. Keep me from building idols.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Follow without conditions.

 Don’t be afraid of anyone’s anger, for the decision you make is God’s decision. 

“But even after all he did, you refused to trust the Lord your God, 33who goes before you looking for the best places to camp,

“But the Lord told me to tell you, ‘Do not attack, for I am not with you. If you go ahead on your own, you will be crushed by your enemies.’

“The Lord our God also helped us conquer 

However, we avoided the land of the Ammonites all along the Jabbok River and the towns in the hill country—all the places the Lord our God had commanded us to leave alone.

Lord God my Father,

Allow your Truth, Peace and Power to rest well on me and release my weakness from my thoughts. Keep me so close that I may only follow your desire and release your will in all things I do today. I am sorry when I don’t listen to you and wonder. Help me to conquer the evil that is before me and rest in your plan.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Honorable

This will ensure that the land where you live will not be polluted, for murder pollutes the land. And no sacrifice except the execution of the murderer can purify the land from murder.

You must not defile the land where you live, for I live there myself. I am the Lord, who lives among the people of Israel.”

Lord God my Father,

Protect me from dishonoring you in the land you give me. Holp me to keep in in such a way as to honor you.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Only follow

This is the route the Israelites followed as they marched out of Egypt under the leadership of Moses and Aaron.

But if you fail to drive out the people who live in the land, those who remain will be like splinters in your eyes and thorns in your sides. They will harass you in the land where you live. 56And I will do to you what I had planned to do to them.”

Lord God my Father,

You know the path I should take, help me to follow it. Keep me from compromising your plan with my own desire or allow others to lead me astray.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
