Today . . .

Lord, I give You the secret place of my heart.

That place where I hold the

things that have been done to me, and the

things that I have done  that

I’ve never told anyone about,

I give them all to You.

I give you:

my hopes and dreams;

my fears and disappointments;

my anger and sadness;

my worries and doubts;

my complaints and confusion;

my woes and grudges;

It’s all Yours!

I give you that special place I had carved out for

the love of my life, the life I want to live, the person I want to be,

I give it all to You.

I give You my whole heart, withholding nothing!

Please fill me and make me complete with Your love.

Scripture: “If we confess our sins, [God] is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9).

“Create in me a clean heart, and renew a right spirit within me!” (Psalm 51:10).

“You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart . . .” (Deuteronomy 6:5).
