make my heart new. O God, I need You …

I’m setting my goals high. I’m changing my course. I now set my eyes on Jesus. I’m making the choice.
Forsaking the lies. I now choose to die, that I might live and love and be completely new inside.
God, You love the poor. You love the needy. You love the maimed. You love the ugly. You love higher than my brain can comprehend …
Will You lift me above this rude, painful earth? That I might know You and Your love — bring in me a new birth.
I’m tired and weary, life’s yoke is so heavy. Building my house on sand has made me unsteady.
The waves are crashing down hard upon me. God Almighty have mercy on me! Lift me Lord  that I might see once again. Lift Me God with Your powerful right Hand!
I give you my unforgiving, hard and stubborn heart. Will You exchange it, Father in heaven, and give me a new start? Teach me Agape. It is high, I cannot attain it.
Fill  me – with  – Your  – Spirit!
Teach me, dear Lord, today … I ask that You show me the way!
Unconditional love is not found on this earth. It is from the heavens far above the dust and thorns. I’ve been torn. I have been running, in the dark, in the night. I turn my direction, guide me with Your light.
Forsaking the past, believing now with each step. I  receive. I respond to Your love now completely. That I might move in this world with a Love like Your own –with faith, abiding,
in You alone.
I set my goal on Agape love. I will fail, I know …  Help me forgive others their failures as I go.
I’m changing course. I talk hold of Your hand. Lord Jesus, will You be just that, my Lord and Savior. I am  completely Yours!

I'm a believer in Jesus. Because of this, I am married to a wonderful husband and the mom of a large family. For those who have battled cancer, or any other tragedy or disease, you might understand, I had a choice to get better or bitter. I chose to give thanks to Jesus for my every breath. For that reason alone, wanting to proclaim His goodness, do I write - Toni

One thought on “make my heart new. O God, I need You …”

  1. Do we desire blessing? May we pray a prayer of brokenness even daily! “So humble yourselves under the mighty power of God, and at the right time he will lift you up in honor.” 1 Peter 5:6.
