Episode 353: Deuteronomy 5

Today's Prayer Meditation is on Deuteronomy 5

Father, you gave Moses the ten commandments, carving them onto stone with your finger. They are rules that every man, woman, and child should live by. I learned these commandments when I was young. 

You are the Lord my God who rescued me from the hand of the enemy and released me from my captivity to sin.

I will have no other god but you. Your presence is enough.

I will not allow anything to take first place in my life before you. I will not idolize anyone or anything. My affection is only for you, father. You lavish unfailing love for a thousand generations on those who love you and obey you. 

I will not misuse your name, using it lightly or flippantly or as a curse. Your name is sacred. 

I will observe the sabbath day of rest. You created the heavens, the earth, and everything in them in six days, and rested on the seventh day, Father. And you ask me to do the same. It is a day to set aside for you and a day to be enjoyed.

I honor my father and my mother. This is the only commandment that came with a promise of blessing; that of a long, full life.

I will not murder.

I will not commit adultery.

I will not steal. 

I will not testify falsely against another. 

I will not covet the belongings of another.

I honor you, Father, my heart is true. I and my descendants will prosper forever. I will stay on the path that you have set before me to follow. I will not turn to the right or to the left. And I will live a long and prosperous life. 

So be it.

Until next time, be blessed and be a blessing.
