How I praise and thank You Father, that You know the inner thoughts of my heart, and the areas within that need Your refining tool and cleansing touch.Forgive me for the mask I so often wear, and the carefully designed pretence that prevents others from seeing my true self. Lord, You know my heart, and the motives behind my thoughts, and I confess that I need Your inner cleansing. Create in me a clean heart oh Lord, and renew a right spirit within me, I pray.For too long Lord, I have lived a lie, by hiding a range of inner hurt and damaged emotions behind a smiling face, when my heart is bitter, unforgiving, angry and full of pain.Change my heart from the inside and heal these hurts I pray. Remove all the offensive impurities within, that are so offensive to You, and fill me with Your peace and Your joy, so that in spirit and in truth, I may show forth Your love to others.Thank You, Lord, that a changed heart and a changed life only comes from You. Father, I desire to surrender all that I am to You. Take my life and live through me. In Jesus’ name I pray,Amen.
