Let my heart be

one of humble adoration instead of pride;

one of trust instead of anxiety;

one of striving for holiness instead of good works;

one of contentment instead of jealousy;

one of forgiveness instead of resentment;

one of freedom instead of shame;

one of love instead of bitterness

Let my heart be filled with awestruck wonder of how you can take my dead and sinful heart and bring it back to life and give it humility, trust, holiness, contentment, forgiveness, freedom, love.

Let me not forget my former ways before you restored me and renewed me so that I never forget the grace and forgiveness I have received.

Let me never forget or lessen the power of the cross and the power of your blood.

Let me not forget that you took my place on that cross.

Let me never forget the joy you have given me so that I never desire to look for it in lesser places.

But when I do, let me always remember your mercy on me.

Let me never forget that you love me. Not because of what I have or have not done. Not because of my merits. But simply for me.

Let me find my worth in being your daughter and in nothing else.

Let me not forget that you are not only sovereign but you are good.

Psalm 86:5 “For you, LORD, are good and ready to forgive, and abundant in lovingkindness to all who call upon You.”
