Cleaning House

Look into my heart Oh Lord.
See who I truly am;
For You alone can know it,
Can truly understand.

Be a lamp unto my feet,
A sword to thwart my foe.
Light the corners of my mind,
Where fear and hate can grow.

Enter my mind and lock it's door,
To hate and lust and pride.
Arm me with Your mighty Word,
And be my faithful guide.

Show me where my true faults lie,
And help me make it right,
That I may come before Your Throne,
Acceptable in Your sight.

                                 Amen

I love this prayer of yours, Judy. From time to time it's good to "spring clean" our house and see what's for throwing out! ~ Best regards & blessings // paul

Hi Judy, you sound so steadfast and prepared, I applaud you, of course I believe and have faith but your reminder to us all does not go unnoticed, you are a true disciple, you and Gordon are my Godly inspiration. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Wonderful prayer, Judy... From the title alone, I thought I might be in for a humorous romp. You surprised me with a real gem. Have a blessed Sunday/Lord's Day, Gershon
