NIGHT PRAYER: Monday 2/16

 Create in me a clean heart, O God,
    and renew a right spirit within me...

Psalm 51:10 

 

 

I need a new heart, Lord:

    not a physical transplant

       but a new heart of faith...

 

So, with Lent just around the corner,
I pray you'll
    sweep
    dust
    cleanse 

    soften 

    tune up

    patch
    mend

    revive 

    heal    
    repair
    forgive 

    strengthen
    and purify     
        this heart of mine...

And while we're here -

    I need some fine tuning of my spirit, Lord...

 

So, I pray you'll:
    renew my listless spirit

    refresh my failing spirit
    lift up my drooping spirit

    tame my wild spirit

    embolden my reluctant spirit
    rekindle my burned-out spirit

    humble my proud spirit
    open wide my selfish spirit

    energize my tired spirit    
    pardon my sinful spirit
and just in general, Lord: 

    put a right spirit within me,
        within this heart of mine...

Create in me a clean heart, O God,
    and renew a right spirit within me...

Protect me, Lord, while I'm awake

    and watch over me while I sleep

that awake, I might keep watch with you

    and asleep rest in your peace...

Amen.

In the shadows of my old ways

Carrying a heart of stone
Lost in chains of yesterday's pain
Feeling like I'm all alone.
But a whisper calls me closer
A promise lights the way
Your truth is breaking through me
It's time to seize the day.

I need a new heart a new heart
To feel Your spirit rise in me
Take this stone and make it flesh,Lord
Set my soul forever free.

 
Through the trials I've been searching
For a light to guide my soul
Now Your Spirit's gently stirring
Making broken pieces whole.
Yeah, Your voice is like a fire
Burning deep within my core
I'm ready for Your promise
To live for something more.

(Refrain)

New heart new spirit, oh
Feel it rising, let it flow
New heart, new spirit yeah
God's love makes me whole.

Now Your grace is my foundation
Your Spirit leads me on
I'm stepping into freedom
My past is finally gone.
But a whisper calls me closer
A promise lights the way
Your truth is breaking through me
It's time to seize the day.

(Refrain)

New heart new spirit oh
Feel it rising let it flow
New heart new spirit, yeah
God's love makes me whole.
