A Prayer
A prayer for purification of heart and a deeper longing to see and know God more fully.
By Steve Wilkins
O God, purify my heart, for I long to see more of you.
I’ve seen Your hand.
I’ve experienced a taste of Your love.
I’ve been given a glimpse of Your glory.
But I want to see more of You.
Purify my heart.
Cleanse me.
Reveal my sin.
Burn away my chaff.
I desire a deep cleansing.
Create in me a clean heart – a new heart
So that all that is left standing in me is You.
I don’t want to remember my sin.
I don’t want to long for sinful things.
I seek You.
I seek Your will – Your perfect will.
Fix my mind in innocence,
My imagination in purity.
Lead me in truth.
Steady me with Your hand.
You are all I need.
You are all I want.
O God, purify my heart, for I long to see more of you.
“Jesus said, ‘Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.’” —Matthew 5:8
