A Pure Heart

A Pure Heart -by Jon Walker “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 rightly and wisely fenced away as sin,

· A heart of love that never insists on its own way (1 John 2:16)

. 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.

· 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.

· A heart that chases after you,

· A heart that looks to you for its provision,

· A heart that trusts that you are 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 completely to you,

· A spirit that is not double-minded,

· A spirit that is focused, and single minded on your purposes,

· A spirit resolved to know Christ and Christ alone.
