Hear, O Israel! The LORD is our God, the LORD is one [the only God]! You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and mind and with all your soul and with all your strength [your entire being]. (Deu 6:4)

When Jesus was asked what the greatest commandment is, this is the one he responded with. Why? Because we all have a tendency to wander away from the True GOD towards anything mental, physical or spiritual that seems to offer more ... for less effort!

Lord Jesus, may the roots of my life go deep into you only. If there are any - ‘any’ roots in my life which have headed anywhere else but into you – and are now pumping crud into my life, then I ask you to remove those roots as well as the subsequent toxic effects they're producing into my life as well as those around me.

Thank you, Lord, for your Mercy on me.
