Take my heart

S: “If I had not confessed the sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened.”

Psalms 66:18 NLT

O: Our faith causes action, our action causes God to react. His reaction fuels our faith. 

The sin of his heart. All of life flows from the heart, out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. The psalmist confesses his distortion, his suffering, his sin, the old him, the old behavior that flowed from his heart and out of his mouth. Only then God listened.

A: God listens because I laid down my heart. The flow of my heart was lies and manipulation. The abundance of my heart was hurt and pain and that's what came out of my mouth. I was a misfit that God is using to transform lives. What is it going to take for me to be fully convinced?

P: Take my heart and let it be just like yours, I didn't understand what I was singing. Plant my feet in your path. I remember listening to it on repeat. Forgetting what's behind me, moving ahead. Your will God I live for!!!! I asked you to take my heart, the flow of my life and the abundance of my words to be like you. To plant me, uproot me from the path I was on and to put me on your journey for my life. Leaving the past behind me and moving ahead in you. That above all your will, for your glory I would live. I pray again sovereign Lord, take me to that higher level. I long to be closer to you!!!! In Jesus name I pray, amen.
