There are two prayers in the chapter that have me thinking today. The first is that God would guard our lives, and the second is that God would give us an undivided heart. When I consider it, these aren’t two prayers but one; if our lives are going to be all that they need to be for God, our hearts can’t be divided. We have to be fully committed to God and his ways. James gives the warning that a divided heart won’t receive anything from God, so this is a real concern. The great thing is God knows our weakness and will help us when we find our heart divided between what He says and other desires that come up within us. God will if we let him give us undivided hearts, and in that He is guarding our lives.
