Hi, friend. I'm so grateful you've joined me on the Jesus Over Everything show. If you haven't heard the news, we have gone retro this summer. For the months of June and July, we are featuring our five word prayers daily. The show, this show started as, and so many of you love so much, five-minute podcast shows on topics of all kinds, the short inspiration you need for every day of the week.

So enjoy these shows, keep listening all summer, and see you right here back in August for a

powerful season six.

Hi, and welcome to the Five Word Prayers Daily, a five-day-a-week, daily devotional where we share

the word, prayers, in our heart. I'm Lisa Whittle, and I welcome you to just five minutes with week, daily devotional where we share the word, prayers in our heart.

I'm Lisa Whittle, and I welcome you to just five minutes with me, which I trust and pray will be

five minutes well spent. We're talking giving on the daily this week, and yesterday I told you what I've

learned, sort of learned anew this year about giving. I want to be better about giving of my time,

which is something I find pretty hard to give, to be

honest, because I'm stretched already. But I know that there are times I need to put my agenda

aside for the needs of others. So I need to learn that balance of not giving to the point of burnout

and resting in a healthy no, but also sacrificing too, because that is the true gift. Today I want to talk about the best gift we can give God this year, next year, and honestly

every single day.

I bet you already know what it is, but let's dive in anyway.

Here are several of my favorite verses in the Bible.

May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing to you, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer, Psalm 1914. The eyes of the Lord search the whole earth in order to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him, Second Chronicles 169. These verses speak about what God wants the very most from us, the greatest gift we can ever give

him, yes, that of our heart.

But not part of our heart, our whole heart, meaning we go all the way in with him.

There's no halfway.

It's all or nothing.

I've talked about the heart on the show before multiple times.

It is the single gift he wants from us.
