Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. Thank You for this day Heavenly Father. For the fount of life to which we are able to come. You who know my wicked thoughts, and the ill intentions of my inner being, have mercy on me. Thank you for my family and…
A Clean and Thankful Heart Part II
I come to be filled, to the fountain of life I bring my cup to be restored. My cup flows over, it runs over with your love. My heart sings for joy for you have washed me thoroughly, made me whiter than snow. Come and create in me a pure and exultant heart. I came…
A Clean and Thankful Heart Part I
I’m want to pray as David did, or it could even be said I’m praying with him for a clean heart. My hope is to reflect on this during the month of December here on the blog. Whether it’s every day or once a week, I want to intentionally write out my thoughts and maybe…
