Dear Lord, Into this world was I born a sinner. To the mind, ignorant of your Word and your love for me. The heart of flesh did I receive, a heart so deceitful and lover of self. In my afflictions did I consider your Word. Through my darkest hours, did your Word come alive in me, to help cleanse me from a guilty conscience. By your Holy Spirit was my body washed with pure water. I draw near to You, O Lord, with the full assurance that faith brings. By your love, which I did receive, I consider your ways and your many deeds; too many to count. For your Word stands true. Because I choose to meditate on your Word, I stand through the trials, being purified in as much as within a crucible being refined as gold. Under pressure, You hold my hand as I cling to your Word. Forgive me O Lord, for sometimes the flesh grows weak. I lay my shortcomings before You. I ask that You purge me and make clean my heart. Let not my ways be such that it deviates from what truly speaks from the heart. Let me know when I am led astray. Keep me forever walking in your way. Produce in me a clean heart, a heart that desperately searches You out. Free me from my iniquities such that I may find You. Break the chains that hold be back from knowing You. I pray this in Jesus Name, thanking You Giving You all honour and glory and praise Almighty Father forever and ever HalleluYah. 11.07.23 |
