Deuteronomy 30:9-14 NRSVue
9and the
11“Surely, this commandment that I am commanding you today is not too hard for you, nor is it too far away. 12It is not in heaven, that you should say, ‘Who will go up to heaven for us and get it for us so that we may hear it and observe it?’ 13Neither is it beyond the sea, that you should say, ‘Who will cross to the other side of the sea for us and get it for us so that we may hear it and observe it?’ 14No, the word is very near to you; it is in your mouth and in your heart for you to observe.

Further reflection
Before I ask of anything else from God and pray I give thanks to God for what I have already received. The word of God is already in my mouth and in my heart.
God does not ask of me anything that is too difficult but asks me to begin from where I am right now at this time. I pray that I may grow in appreciation of how God ‘prospers’ me.
