Overcoming Flesh, Heart & Thoughts

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.
