Psalm 86:11 NKJV
Unite my heart ... to me, that is a unique turn of phrase. In reading other translations, I saw it was synonymous with Give me singleness of heart and the one I like best, Give me an undivided heart.
For someone like me who is easily distracted (Oh, shiny!), I understand the passionate desire for an undivided heart. To be focused. A wholehearted commitment. Singleness of purpose. Or as The Living Bible puts it, May every fiber of my being unite in reverence to your name.
We can then recognize the theme of the first commandment throughout Scripture - You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind, Luke 10:27. We must make every effort to live our lives "with ALL".
Prayer:
Father,
We pray according to Your Word, May every fiber of our being unite in reverence to Your Name. We want to love You, worship and serve You, and serve others with ALL. Help us, O Lord, in Jesus' Name we pray. Amen
