Pray With A Clean Heart

Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a steadfast spirit within me - Psalm 51:10.     

           Sin separates us from having fellowship with God. God will never hear us if our heart is not pure. If I had cherished iniquity in my heart, the Lord would not have listened - Psalm‬ ‭66‬:‭18‬. These people draw near to Me with their mouth, And honor Me with their lips, But their heart is far from Me - Matthew 15:8.

              We can see God only when our heart is pure. Blessed are pure in heart for they shall see God. Mathew 5:8. Without holiness, no man will see God - Hebrews 12:14. Who shall ascend the hill of the Lord? And who shall stand in his holy place? He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not lift up his soul to what is false and does not swear deceitfully – Psalm 24:3-4. 

             Let us pray to God with a clean heart. Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective - James 5:16.  Let us draw near to God with a sincere heart and with the full assurance that faith brings, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water - Hebrews‬ ‭10‬:‭22‬.

       Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners;                                           and purify your hearts, you double-minded - James 4:8.                                         

PRAYER: Dear Lord,  Change our hearts. Help us to draw near to You with a true and pure heart. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
