"give me an undivided heart"

When I was in Albuquerque (I seriously spent a good majority of time there trying to remember how to spell that and I still had to google it!) the worship leader Kristian quoted Psalm 86:11" Lord, give me an undivided heart".  I haven't quit thinking about it.  It hit like a ton of bricks.  I so often live my life divided.  Part of it belongs to God and honors Him, and other parts I keep to myself.  How many areas in my life are divided, where I am standing with one foot on this side and one on the other.  I don't want to be half hearted, half devoted to my Savior who gave all for me without holding back!  How ashamed I am!    I want my life to be completely given over to Christ!  When I am hanging with my kiddos, driving, shopping, alone, with friends, with family, thinking, reading, running, eating, cleaning, laundry, cooking, wherever, with whoever, that my heart is not divided.  Everything would belong to Him and be given over to Him.  I challenge us to examine our hearts daily and ask the Lord to show us any areas that are not completely given over to Him, if there is any area we are divided over...
