The heart

PENTECOST SUNDAY

I trust in you with all my heart. Don’t let me wander away from your commands. ~ Psalm 119:10 (NIRV)

It is good that God’s grace makes our hearts strong. ~ Hebrews 13:9 (NIRV)
Gracious God,

THANKS: Thank you for telling us what you expect from us -- for giving us commandments. You don't leave us in the dark about what you want. Yet, at the same time you're generous in your grace -- extending it to us even when we fail to keep those commandments. You are an awesome God.

REGRETS: I regret that I ignore your commands sometimes. I do things I shouldn't do. I fail to do some of the things that you tell me to do. And then I have a hard time forgiving myself -- even though you've forgiven me.

INTERCESSION: Please help me to stay on track. Strengthen my heart with your grace.

PURPOSE: I am going to serve you with all my heart.

Amen.
