The Prayer of Shema
This ancient prayer—known as the Shema—was recited every morning and evening, shaping the identity of God’s people for generations. It wasn’t just a declaration; it was formation. It aligned their thoughts (heart), desires (soul), and actions (strength) to love God fully.
In this teaching, we explore how Jesus called the Shema the greatest commandment (Mark 12:29), and how praying it daily can ground us in a resilient, surrendered life of love. This is not a prayer for requests—it’s a prayer of alignment. A way of returning to the center.
