Praying from Romans 2:28. Themes: Outward appearance, Circumcision of heart.

Dear God, help me to understand that being a true follower of you is not about outward appearances or physical rituals. Help me to focus on the condition of my heart and my relationship with you. May I be a true Jew, a true Christian, a true believer in you, not just in name or appearance, but in my actions and my heart. Amen.

Verse: For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, neither is that circumcision which is outward in the flesh;
Romans 2:28

This is a Command. The verse is commanding the reader to understand that being a true Jew is not about outward appearances or physical circumcision, but rather about the condition of the heart.
