Praying from Matthew 5:34 relating to Oaths, Honesty, Respect for God’s Name.

Dear God, please help me to remember not to swear by heaven or anything else, for I know that everything belongs to you and you are the ultimate authority. May my words always be respectful and honoring to you. Amen.

Verse: but I tell you, don’t swear at all: neither by heaven, for it is the throne of God;
Matthew 5:34

This is a Command. The verse commands the reader not to swear at all, neither by heaven, for it is the throne of God.
