I chose Mark 12:30 as my bible verse for 2014
because I want to learn to serve God
with all my heart,
with all my soul,
with all my mind and
with all my strength.
I also chose this scripture because
I like that it says with all my strength.
Matthew 22:36-40 says;
“Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?”
“You shall love the Lord your God
This is the great and first commandment.
If the greatest commandment
is to love the Lord my God with all my heart, soul
and mind, I have to study God's Word to
learn what this truly means.
I need a clean heart to accept God's Word.
Psalm 51:10
Create in me a clean heart,
O God,
And renew a steadfast spirit within me.
Ezekiel 36:26
And I will give you a new heart,
and a new spirit I will put within you.
And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh
and give you a heart of flesh.
God is the one who can create a new heart in me.
He will remove my heart of stone
and give me a living heart of flesh.

Search me, O God, and know my heart!
Try me and know my thoughts!

for from it flow the springs of life.
Matthew 5:8

for they shall see God.
Proverbs 3:5-6

and do not lean on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge Him,
and he will make straight your paths.
James 4:7-8
Submit yourselves therefore to God.
Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you.

Psalm 119:11

that I might not sin against you.

teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom,
singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs,
with thankfulness in your hearts to God.
Hebrews 4:12
For the word of God is living and active,
sharper than any two-edged sword,
piercing to the division of soul and of spirit,
of joints and of marrow,
and discerning the thoughts and
intentions of the heart.
God is the only one who can give me a clean heart.
He is the only one who can remove my old heart of stone.
Father keep my heart from any evil
so that I will live with You forever.
Father, create in me a clean heart
and make me like You in all my ways.
Father, I pray that I will love You and
You only with all my heart, and all my mind,
and all my soul.
Father I do not want to love any other God but You.
Father, please make Your living word dwell in my heart,
my mind and my soul all the days of my life.
Father, I please remove any unworthy thoughts
from my heart, soul and mind.
Search me, O God, and know my heart!
Try me and know my thoughts!
Thank You for creating a clean heart in me God.
Thank you God for searching my heart and
knowing my ways and thoughts.
Thank you for revealing Your will to me
through Your Holy and inspired word.
In Jesus Most Holy Name I pray, Amen.
