"Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me."
~Psalm 51:10 (KJV)
A prayer for this day in Lent:
Dear God, my number one problem is me. I have embraced a false self that tries in every way to tell me that I am in control - and even more dangerously, tells me not to trust you but rather to trust my own alleged righteousness. I am ashamed at how many times I have listened to the voice of the false self instead of your voice.
Today, I deny that false self and ask that you would renew a right spirit within me, a self that attends to you and lives accordingly. Especially today, I ask that I might deny the false self in relation to ( ). I am tired of going where it leads me. Instead, lead me in paths of righteousness for your name's sake. I ask this in Jesus' name. Amen
