² Pure heart, steadfast spirit ...

 (  << Previous here ) 

Now, let us come before our merciful and gracious God in prayer with hearts that are ready for transformation, spirits that are hungry for renewal, and souls that are desperate for a fresh start.

🙏 

 Heavenly Father, I come before you today with a heart that needs your transforming touch. 

I come with a spirit that needs your renewing power. 

I come acknowledging that I cannot change myself, that I cannot purify my own heart, that I cannot create the spiritual life I long for through my own strength or effort. 

Like king David, I cry out to you. 

Create in me a pure heart, oh God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. 

Lord, I confess that my heart has been stained by sin, clouded by selfishness, hardened by pride, and wounded by disappointment. 

I confess that I have thoughts that dishonor you, spoken words that hurt others, and made choices that have taken me far from your best for my life. 

I confess that I have tried to live according to my own wisdom and have found myself lost and broken. 

But today, I choose to believe in your power to transform. 

I choose to trust in your desire to restore. 

I choose to have faith in your ability to create something beautiful from the brokenness of my life. 

Create in me a pure heart, Lord. 

A pure heart that has been cleansed by your forgiveness and empowered by your spirit. 

Create a heart that desires what you desire, that loves what you love, that pursues what you pursue. 

Remove from me the heart of stone that has grown cold toward you and toward others. 

Remove the callousness that has built up through years of disappointment and hurt. 

Remove the bitterness that has taken root through unforgiveness and resentment. 

Remove the pride that keeps me from fully surrendering to your will. 

Give me a heart of flesh, tender toward your spirit, sensitive to your voice, responsive to your leading. 

Give me a heart that breaks for what breaks yours, that rejoices in what brings you joy, that grieves over what grieves you. 

Give me a heart that loves others the way you love me, that forgives others the way you have forgiven me, that serves others the way you have served me. 

And Lord, renew a steadfast spirit within me. 

I confess that my spirit has been unstable, wavering between   commitment and compromise, wavering between faith and fear, wavering between obedience and rebellion. 

I confess that I have been easily swayed by circumstances, easily discouraged by setbacks, easily distracted by temptation. 

But I ask you to create within me a spirit that remains faithful when everything around me is changing. 

Create a spirit that stands firm when the storms of life rage around me. 

Create a spirit that chooses your ways even when those ways are difficult, even when they're costly, even when they're misunderstood by others. 

Give me the spiritual strength to resist temptation when it comes. 

Give me the spiritual courage to stand for truth when it's unpopular. 

Give me the spiritual wisdom to make decisions that honor you even when they don't benefit me. 

Give me the spiritual endurance to keep following you even when the journey is long and difficult. 

Lord, I pray for everyone who feels like they've gone too far, fallen too hard, or failed too often to ever start fresh with you. 

I pray that you would open their eyes to see that your mercies are new every morning, that your grace is sufficient for every failure, that your love is stronger than every sin. 

For those who feel trapped in patterns of behavior they cannot break, I pray for your liberating power to set them free. 

For those who feel crushed by guilt and shame, I pray for your forgiving grace to lift the burden from their shoulders. 

For those who feel hopeless about ever changing, I pray for your transforming love to give them new hope. 

Create pure hearts in all of us, Lord God. 

Not hearts that are proud of their purity, but hearts that are grateful for your grace. 

Not hearts that judge others who are struggling, but hearts that reach out with compassion to help others find the same transformation we have received. 

Renew steadfast spirits in all of us. 

Not spirits that are rigid and legalistic, but spirits that are firm in their commitment to you. 

Not spirits that lack compassion for human weakness, but spirits that are strengthened by your mercy to show mercy to others. 

I thank you, Father, that you are the God of fresh starts, new beginnings, and second chances. 

I thank you that you specialize in transformation, that you delight in restoration, that you excel in re-creation. 

I thank you that no heart is too hard for you to soften, no spirit is too broken for you to restore, no life is too damaged for you to redeem. 

Help us to live each day in the reality of the pure hearts and steadfast spirits you have given us. 

Help us to walk in the freedom of your forgiveness and the power of your spirit. 

Help us to be living testimonies of your transforming grace, beacons of hope for others who need to know that fresh starts are possible. 

In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, who came to give us new life and make all things new, I pray. 

Amen.

现在，让我们怀着准备好接受改变的心、渴望更新的灵、以及渴望重新开始的灵魂，在祷告中来到我们慈悲仁慈的上帝面前。

🙏

天父，今天我来到您面前，我的心需要您改变的触摸。

我的灵需要您更新的力量。

我承认我无法改变自己，我无法净化自己的心灵，我无法通过自己的力量或努力创造我渴望的属灵生活。

像大卫王一样，我向您呼求。

上帝啊，求您在我里面创造一颗纯洁的心，并在我里面更新坚定的灵。

主啊，我承认我的心已被罪玷污，被自私蒙蔽，被骄傲所硬化，被失望所伤。

 我承认我曾有过不敬祢的想法，说过伤害他人的话，做过远离祢对我一生美好旨意的选择。

我承认我曾试图按照自己的智慧生活，却发现自己迷失了方向，身心崩溃。

但今天，我选择相信祢改变的力量。

我选择信靠祢想要修复的愿望。

我选择相信祢有能力从我破碎的生活中创造出美好的事物。

主啊，求祢为我造一颗纯洁的心。

一颗被祢的宽恕洁净，被祢的灵赋予力量的纯洁的心。

求祢造一颗渴望祢所渴望的，热爱祢所爱的，追求祢所追求的心。

求祢除去我那颗对你和他人冷漠的石心。

求祢除去我那多年失望和伤痛所积累的冷漠。

 除去因不饶恕和怨恨而生根发芽的苦毒。

除去那阻碍我完全顺服祢旨意的骄傲。

赐我一颗肉体的心，温柔地对待祢的灵，敏感地聆听祢的声音，响应祢的带领。

赐我一颗为祢所伤而破碎的心，为祢所喜悦而欢喜的心，为祢所忧伤而忧伤的心。

赐我一颗像祢爱我一样去爱别人的心，像祢饶恕我一样去饶恕别人的心，像祢服侍我一样去服侍别人的心。

主啊，求祢在我里面更新坚定的灵。

我承认我的灵一直不稳定，在委身和妥协之间摇摆不定，在信仰和恐惧之间摇摆不定，在顺服和叛逆之间摇摆不定。

 我承认我很容易被环境左右，很容易被挫折挫折，很容易被诱惑分心。

但我请求你在我心中创造一种精神，即使周围的一切都在变化，它依然保持忠诚。

创造一种精神，即使生活的风暴在我身边肆虐，它依然坚定不移。

创造一种精神，即使这条路很艰难，即使代价高昂，即使被他人误解，它也会选择你的道路。

给我精神力量，让我在诱惑来临时抵制诱惑。

给我精神勇气，让我在真理不受欢迎时坚持下去。

给我精神智慧，让我做出尊重你的决定，即使这些决定对我没有好处。

给我精神耐力，让我在旅途漫长而艰难时继续跟随你。

 主啊，我为所有感觉自己走得太远、跌得太深或失败太多而无法与你重新开始的人祈祷。

我祈祷你打开他们的眼睛，让他们看到你的怜悯每天早晨都是新的，你的恩典足以应付每一次失败，你的爱比每一种罪都强大。

对于那些感觉自己被困在无法打破的行为模式中的人，我祈祷你赐予他们解放的力量，让他们获得自由。

对于那些感到被内疚和羞耻压垮的人，我祈祷你宽恕的恩典，减轻他们肩上的重担。

对于那些对改变感到绝望的人，我祈祷你改变的爱，给他们新的希望。

主啊，求你在我们所有人心中创造纯洁的心。

不是为自己的纯洁而自豪的心，而是感恩你恩典的心。

不是论断那些正在挣扎的人的心，而是伸出同情之手，帮助他人找到与我们一样的转变的心。

 更新我们所有人心中坚定的精神。

不是僵化和墨守成规的精神，而是坚定地委身于您的精神。

不是对人类弱点缺乏同情的精神，而是因您的怜悯而坚强，向他人展现怜悯的精神。

天父，我感谢您，您是重新开始、新的起点和第二次机会的上帝。

我感谢您，您专注于改变，您乐于修复，您擅长再创造。

我感谢您，没有一颗心是您无法软化，没有一个精神是您无法修复，没有一个生命是受损的是您无法救赎的。

帮助我们每天都活在您赐予我们的纯洁心灵和坚定精神中。

帮助我们行走在您宽恕的自由和您精神的力量中。

帮助我们成为祢改变恩典的活见证，成为那些需要知道重新开始的人的希望灯塔。

奉耶稣基督的大能之名祷告，祂来赐予我们新生命，使万物更新。

阿门。
