My Prayer

Give me a heart thats fixed on you
Not divided between you and wealth
Your will and self
No matter how successful I become never let me forget you're my help
Give me a heart thats content and not always complaining
One thats fervent and consistent never fainting
Through the good and the bad 
The bad and the good
One that obeys you 
That does how I should
Give me a heart that loves love and hates hate and hates sin
One thats not deceptive but shows you what lies within
Give me a heart thats humble one you'll except
Not one thats full of pride
Thats one you'll reject
Give me a heart that produces a relationship with you thats not based on 
convience but on conviction
Give me a heart that prays and believes that you listen
Pursuing you is my mission,better yet my life
Give me a heart that gives you obedience because its better than sacrafice
Give me a heart that stands for truth everything Godly
One that pursues Christ's example and all that is Godly
Give me a heart that isn't always saying "give me"
But one that says "what can I give you"
Give me that heart
