CLEAN HEART MONDAY
Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. (Psalm 51:10 NIV)
Oh God, create in me a pure heart …
* A heart that won't run with lust after physical pleasure.
* A heart that obediently refuses what you've fenced away as sin.
* A heart of love that never insists on its own way. (1 John 2:16)
Oh God, create in me a pure heart …
* A heart that knows no greed when it looks upon worldly treasures.
* A heart that thinks of others, and not itself.
* A heart that argues for love instead of fairness.
Oh God, create in me a pure heart …
* A heart that never boasts about what it has or what its done.
* A heart that walks humbly, not trying to appear more important than it is.
* A heart that takes no pride in the flesh.
Oh God, create in me a pure heart …
* A heart that chases after you.
* A heart that looks to you for its provision.
* A heart that trusts you are redemptively at work in others.
* A heart that does not manipulate people or circumstances.
* A heart that looks upon the things above and not the things below.
Heavenly Father, renew a steadfast spirit within me …
* A spirit committed wholly and solely to you.
* A spirit that is not double-minded.
* A spirit that is focused, and single-minded on your purpose.
* A spirit resolved to know Christ and Christ alone.
