You sent Your Son, and he was rejected and crucified... all to bring us back to You. Thank You, Father, for not giving up on us.  Amen

Father God, We are reminded that Jesus said we couldn't serve two masters. The children of Israel tried to serve both You and other gods, and they destroyed themselves in the process. We may not make molten calves or carved idols, but we still sometimes get lost in the worship -- or reliance on and trust in -- things we build with our own hands instead of relying and trusting in You alone. Help us, Father, to serve You with all of our hearts, all of our minds, all of our soul and all of our strength -- holding nothing back.  Amen
