A Prayer for My Heart
God whose heart beats in mine, a rhythm of waking and praying, of mid day silence, calming myself in your word of truth, of night time and stillness before you. Make my heart beat with Yours. You are knocking on my heart, God, getting my attention. But so much shame drowns me and I’m scared to answer because my trespasses are many, and Satan keeps yelling it’s too late. But I'm Yours, God, and Your desire is to drown me in your love and forgiveness. You bought me when I was a slave to sin. There is nothing I can hide from you, or show you that You haven’t already seen or known about me. The truth of my decisions are disgusting and filthy. Clear out the lies that pile up, the names that have been a label. My heart holds hurt, would you remove that wound so I can fully receive love from the people You have given me. My heart is rebellious and strong willed, impatient, and angry teach me your ways and prune out the world. Pull up the dead weeds of people of the past. My heart loves so...
