Purity of Heart and Mind
Holy Spirit, examine our hearts and minds. Expose any dirty parts. We having parts of us that still flare in anger during traffic; parts that we have been slow to turn over to you; parts that entertain lustful thoughts. God, to be honest, we're scared at the thought of what you might find, but these things keep us from a closer relationship with you. Find them, Holy Spirit, and yank them out by the roots. Help us to be obedient in opening ourselves up to your correction, and help us to immerse ourselves in you every day to prevent these dark parts of our hearts from growing back. We love you, Jesus, and we want to be more like you. Thank you for walking right beside us, every step of the way. We love you!Labels: closer to God, Examining Our Hearts, holy spirit, life change, Obedience

Help us to be great for you, Lord. We love you and want to serve you with every part of our being.Labels: closer to God, Ministry, Obedience, praise, Serving God, Witnessing

Living With Righteous Fear
God, we're afraid of sliding into our old ways. It shakes us to the bone to think of living without you. Beat back our flesh, Father. We want to always be wholly reliant on you. Fill us with your love and humility. Let the fruits of your Spirit grown in abundance in us, choking off our pride, envy, lust, and other nasty parts of our flesh. We are yours and yours alone, Father. We love you.Labels: closer to God, Examining Our Hearts, life change, relationship with God

Minister To Us
Father, as we head to church this weekend, minister to our hearts. Teach us something life changing. Show us areas of our lives that do not glorify you and that are keeping us from a closer relationship with you. Give us the courage to open ourselves completely to you. Help us to fight the urge of our flesh to hold on to control and to try to be righteous on our own. That's impossible. We need you. Thank you for giving us your righteousness, Jesus. We love you.Labels: closer to God, life change, relationship with God
