Only from You, Lord, do all blessings flow. You have blessed me with so much, Lord. I know that I can never do any deed that would be worthy enough to draw me closer to You. The only acceptable offering to You is my heart. I thank You and praise You for all You have done in my life. I would like to offer my heart as a sacrifice to You. I would like to give it as a mortal man to his eternal and omnipotent God. This is all I have of worth.
Lord, take my heart and mold me according to Your will. Let me offer my sacrifice and let it be acceptable to You. Give me strength so that I don’t falter in heart. I need my heart unblemished for You. Let my desire to have an acceptable sacrifice to You be strong and unwavering.

O Lord, You have revealed to me some of the secrets of the heart. I realize that my heart has been tarnished. I ask, Lord, that You wash it clean. I ask that You remove all tarnish, all uncleanness, all stains, all blemishes, and all impurities. I ask, Lord, that You renew it so that it is like new. O Lord, while I put these things away from my heart, let me, please, add the fruit of the Spirit and all righteousness to it.
Let my heart be able to stand before You. Thank You, Lord, for this knowledge. I know that I must be accountable for it. Have mercy on me. I must realize, Lord, that Your Word says that if I want to give good things to my children, that You want to give to me more than I want to give to them. My love for them is strong. Your love for me is even stronger. I need to only abide in Your Word. As I have abided in Your Word, I see how You bless me. I am realizing that there is no good thing that I lack. Your Word says this and I am reaping it according to my dwelling in your Word.
Help me, Lord, to put all weight and sin aside that I may dwell in Your presence. Lord, I rebuke all desires of my flesh, all deceitfulness of my heart and all thoughts contrary to You. I want to get closer to You.
I have realized that my thoughts come from my heart. Therefore, I must present a clean heart to You. I must examine my heart daily so that I may not sin against You. I need to be unblemished before You. The enemy’s attack is on the things that I do. These become sin because they occupy my existence so that I do not focus on You. I must prepare my heart so that in every thought, every moment, every action, I am cognizant of You. I must realize that the longer I go between each moment of recognizing You in my existence, I am slipping and am inviting separation from You. I pray, right now Lord, that all of me be in submission to You. Help me overcome my flesh, heart and thoughts. |
