Purify my heart, make it like gold, pure gold…..

"Come and hear, all you who fear God,
And I will declare what He has done for my soul.
I cried to Him with my mouth,
And He was extolled with my tongue.
If I regard iniquity in my heart,
The Lord will not hear.
But certainly God has heard me;
He has attended to the voice of my prayer.
Blessed be God,
Who has not turned away my prayer,
Nor His mercy from me!  Psalm 66:16-20

Iniquity, according to Noah Webster means: a lack of righteousness or justice; wickedness; sin.

God of all prayer, God who listens, hears and attends, we ask You, to form and inform our prayer. We ask that You conform us into Your perfect will today. We feel like we are so good at slipping away from the center of Your will. Sin is so rampant all around us. Cause us not to judge ourselves harshly or others. Keep us so close to You, that we can hear Your heart and feel Your eye guiding us. Remove the idea of judgment from us, and replace it with discernment, knowledge and wisdom for today. Help us stay out of Your way, yet in Your WAY, Jesus. Purify our hearts. Make them brand new. Empty us of all specks of blackheartedness. We seek to have no iniquity in our hearts. Replace our hopeless thoughts with new hope. Thank You for forgiveness. Since we receive so much forgiveness, help us lavish it out, thoughtfully and prayerfully upon all offending others. We need You every moment. We love You Father God. Thanking You forever for Jesus. We pray peace to Israel. Amen.
