1. Put God First: Prioritizing our relationship with God above all else.
2. Praise & Worship Him Only: Recognizing Him as the one true God.
3. Keep God’s Name Holy: Showing reverence and respect in how we speak of Him.
4. Keep the Lord’s Day Special: Taking time to rest and reflect on Him.
5. Obey Your Parents: Honoring and valuing the wisdom of our elders.
6. Do Not Harm Anyone: Upholding the sanctity of life and fostering love.
7. Love the One You Marry: Committing to love and cherish our life partners.
8. Don’t Take Anything That Is Not Yours: Valuing honesty and respect for others’ property.
9. Tell the Truth: Upholding integrity in our words and actions.
10. Don’t Be Jealous of What Others Have: Cultivating gratitude for our blessings.
As we reflect on these commandments, let us strive to internalize them in our hearts and live them out daily.

Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank You for giving us the Ten Commandments as a foundation for living a life that honors You and respects others. Help us to embrace these teachings fully and to put You at the center of our lives. May we always seek to worship You sincerely and speak Your name with reverence. Guide us to honor our parents, protect and love those around us, and be truthful in all our dealings.
Please instill in us a spirit of contentment, freeing us from jealousy and desires for what others possess. Let us celebrate the blessings You have given us and use them to serve others. Help us embody love and integrity in every aspect of our lives.
In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
