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,

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

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.

“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.

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
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.”
