You Cannot Serve Two Masters

 
No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money. - Matthew 6:24

Completely Dedicated


.
Starting when I was 10, I have been journaling my thoughts and prayers. It helps me focus on praying for specific people when I told them I would, and I like to go back and read what I prayed for during the past years of my life. This morning, I picked up an old journal, and began reading my prayers, and found one that I loved, because it was a prayer for I could pray every day of my life.  I thought it was worth sharing.

The Prayer:  I pray

-that my mouth will pour out praises of God.
Psalms 34:1   I will extol the Lord at all times; his praise will always be on my lips.
.
-that my deeds and actions may glorify God.
Matthew 5:16   In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.
.
-that I will fear no evil, and instead fear the LORD.
Luke 12:4-5   I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more.  But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear him who, after the killing of the body, has
power to throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him.
