Lord, Renew My Mind and Transform My Heart | Morning Prayer

before we pray let's listen to God's word and then we'll pray together 1 Corinthians 11: 28 let a person examine himself then and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup similarly in Lamentations 3:40 let us test and examine our ways and return to the Lord these verses aren't meant to be harsh but rather a loving call to reflect and draw closer to God take a moment to think about what you're allowing in your life what have you given space to what kind of people are you surrounding yourself with are they encouraging your

growth in God or are they planting seeds that pull you away from him when we hold ourselves up to the light of God's word it helps us see clearly are we tolerating things that don't align with his truth are we part of conversations or thoughts that move us away from his love and guidance sometimes it's easy to appear as though everything is perfect on the outside you may seem to have an unwavering love for Jesus and others might even look to you for encouragement but deep down you might be wrestling with your own struggles things

that no one else sees you could be sharing the gospel with others while silently wrestling with your own walk with God this is something many of us experienced but we rarely talk about we often hide the areas where we struggle most how often do you hear someone openly confess that they're struggling with pride or anger how often does someone admit that they're fighting against feelings of unforgiveness or battling with lust it's not easy to open up about these things but God already sees them Proverbs 15 three says the eyes of the Lord are in every

place keeping watch on the evil and the good God sees beyond the surface beyond what others see and he looks straight into the depths of your heart we may be able to fool others into thinking we're strong in our faith but we can't fool God he knows every thought every intention and every motivation this is why it's so important to reflect and be honest with yourself are you really living out God's word or just hearing it are you truly striving to walk in righteousness even when no one else is watching others may not know the

full story but you do and so does God take the time to evaluate yourself with kindness and honesty look into your heart and bring whatever you find before the Lord ask him for the strength grace and mercy that you need he is always ready ready to help you grow closer to him no matter where you are right now now let's pray together dear Lord Jesus I come before you today with a humble heart seeking your guidance and Grace help me as I look Within Myself to reflect on my thoughts actions and words teach me how

to measure my life according to the truth of your word not by my own standards or by the standards of this world you your word in 1 Corinthians 11:31 says but if we judged ourselves truly we would not be judged help me Lord to truly understand what this means teach me to look at myself honestly to see the areas where I fall short of your will for me give me the humility to admit my mistakes and the courage to change in this journey of self-examination I pray for your presence to guide me every step of

the way help me not to be harsh on my myself but to seek growth in your love and truth I understand Lord Jesus that self-examination is not just an occasional task but an essential practice if I want to grow in faith and live a life that pleases you it's not always easy to look at myself honestly to see where I may have strayed or become complacent but I know that this is necessary for my spiritual growth with this in mind I pray for a renewed mind Lord one that is not bound by old patterns of

thinking or worldly influences but is transformed by your spirit I ask that you move in my heart reshaping it according to your will let your word be written on every corner of my heart filling every empty space with your truth may your Holy Spirit dwell Within Me Lord removing anything that does not belong whether it's the love of worldly things greed anger or bitterness you alone can heal the wounds that I carry you alone can make me whole in areas where I feel lacking so I Surrender myself to you Lord asking you to satisfy my

heart with holy desires and to turn my passions toward things that are pure and righteous Lord Jesus as I examine myself I ask for your help in holding myself accountable to the truth of your word it's easy to let certain sins slip by to make excuses for why we tolerate some things but not others but I don't want to live like that Lord I want to live with Integrity fully committed to following you I pray that your Holy Spirit Will convict me in those areas where I need change help me to see where I am

being hypocritical where I might say one thing but live in a way that contradicts that belief if I say that you Jesus are my Lord and Savior then help me to live like it every single day if there are Idols in my life things that I have placed above you help me to see them clearly and remove them from my heart teach me to live in a way that reflects your love and truth just as you did when you were here on Earth help me to live with the same Grace compassion and obedience that you

showed us if I truly declare that you are my Lord then let my life reflect that declaration Lord help me to examine every part of my life and see if it aligns with the fact that I am saved that I have been born again by your grace I don't want to live a life that only looks good on the surface I want to be transformed from the inside out I want to live in a way that pleases you even in the areas where no one else is watching fill me with a genuine Love For You

Lord a love that overflows into every aspect of my life and I pray for a deep reverent fear of the Lord to guide my actions thoughts and decisions Romans 12:2 reminds me do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewal of your mind I know that the world tries to shape me to pull me away from you with its distractions and temptations but I don't want to be conformed to those ways Lord I want to be set apart for you transformed by your love and grace Lord I long for a progressive

change in my heart my mind and my character I don't want to stay where I am but I want to grow closer to you each day I pray for Spiritual maturity Lord that I may become more like you in my thoughts and actions let my heart be focused on Godly values not on the fleeting things of this world I desire a heart that seeks after what is good acceptable and perfect in your sight as I strive to live in obedience to your word help me to stay focused on things above as Colossians 3:2 says set

your minds on things that are above not on things that are on earth there are so many distractions in this world so many things that try to pull my attention away from you but I pray that you help me to keep my eyes on you Lord to see after the Eternal rather than the temporary thank you Lord for hearing my prayer I'm so grateful for your constant presence in my life even when I Stumble I know that you are there to lift me up to guide me back to your path thank you for your grace

your mercy and your unfailing love I bless your Holy Name Lord for you are worthy of all praise in the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ I pray amen if this prayer has touched your heart please type amen I pray that every blessing in this prayer is now upon you in the name of Jesus and please let us know in the comments section if you would like us to pray for you specifically May the grace and peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you always
