1 Samuel 15:22-23 - A heart that obeys




And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams.
For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being king.

Prayer

Help to always want to obey you, even if it feels like it is easier to cut corners and disobey.
I want my heart to be far away from rebelling against you.
I pray that hardheartedness and stubbornness will have no hold over me.
I pray that my heart will accept the supremacy of the word of God and I will live by it.
Whenever I fall short, have mercy as I come to you for forgiveness. Do not reject me as your child, O God.
Thank you for remembering your covenant with me.
I have prayed in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
