Summary
“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads” (Deuteronomy 6:5–8)
To love God with all our hearts is to love God despite our emotions and our circumstances.
To love God with all our soul is to rest in him. It is to know our creator and to be in relationship with him, knowing that he is where we will find peace and eternal rest.
To love God with all our mind is to know God, but also trust him with our life, our soul, and our story. It is to know that he is sovereign and knows what is best for us.
To love God with all our strength is to live our faith in everyday life. It is to serve him by using the gifts that he has given us, being the hands and feet of Jesus, and putting into practice all the things we know to be true about God.
We love God fully when we love him in these ways and it is that full love that overflows into the way we love others. So this week, let’s pray that our kids will love God fully in every area of their lives.
Jesus, you love us completely, fully, and perfectly. May __________ love you with their whole heart, soul, mind, and strength. May their love overflow in a way that everyone around them notices there is something different about them. May they grow in their love for you every day and every year. Amen.

| 0:03.5 | Hello, friends, happy December. |
| 0:16.3 | This is Courtney Defeo, and I'm the host of Part in the Mess, and on Mond, we pray together. That's very simple. That's what we do. So join us anytime, but if you've been |
| 0:25.6 | coming for a while, you know that we are working our way through a journal that the team at |
| 0:29.6 | Christian Parenting wrote called A Life of Faith. And so every week, we're basically praying for |
| 0:33.9 | our kids' faith, which is something we all want to do, and it's important to all of us that are raising kids in Christian homes. What we wanted to get super specific. So the first 10 |
| 0:42.1 | weeks of the school year, we went into the knowing part. So it's split up into four sections. |
| 0:46.4 | We want our kids to know, love, follow, and share Jesus. And so that first 10 weeks, we did know |
| 0:51.2 | how our kids can know God. And then now we're into the love section. |
| 0:54.8 | So we did God's love for us. We did a week about a grateful heart. And this week 13 is about |
| 1:00.5 | love God. So have you ever thought about that? Like, how do you actually practically love God? |
| 1:05.9 | We talk a lot about loving others in a way that glorifies God. And we're going to get to that |
| 1:09.9 | next week. But how do we |
| 1:11.0 | really love God? And so one of the verses that's commonly used as Matthew 2237, |
| 1:17.2 | love the Lord your God with all of your heart and all of your soul and with all of your |
| 1:21.1 | strength. And what that means to me is with everything we've got, our whole being in every |
| 1:24.7 | possible way, am I and are my kids spending time with him? |
| 1:29.4 | Are they loving him and all the things that they do? |
| 1:32.3 | So here's a few things I just jotted down that I've been taught over the years, and I would |
| 1:36.3 | love to hear from you, how do you practically love God? |
| 1:38.5 | But we can love God by putting our trust in Him. |
| 1:41.3 | We can love God by obeying His commands. |
