Psalm 86:11

“Teach me your way, Lord, that I may rely on your faithfulness; give me an undivided heart, that I may fear your name.” (Psalm 86:11)

Psalm 86:11 is a heartfelt prayer for divine instruction and a sincere plea for an undivided heart. This verse highlights two profound desires: to know God’s ways and to maintain a single-hearted devotion to Him.

Asking God to “teach me your way” acknowledges our need for His guidance and wisdom. It expresses a dependence on God’s faithfulness rather than our understanding.

The request for an undivided heart emphasizes the importance of wholehearted devotion. In a world full of distractions competing for our attention, maintaining a focus on God can be challenging. An undivided heart seeks God above all else, prioritizing His will and presence in every aspect of our life.

How can you seek a more undivided heart in your relationship with God?
