Praying Through: Psalm 37:4

The Psalm

Psalm 37 (CSB)
⁴ Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you your heart’s desires.

The Prayer

The Only Holder of My Heart

I have one prayer:

give me your heart.
for mine is frail and weak
and corrupted with sin.
it is made of stone
and gives me no life
it gives wickedness
and seeks to only destroy me.

If I had your heart,

surely I will live
surely I will be in your grace
surely I will give others your grace
I will see others in the a new light
that you love them with all of your heart
and your desire was to save them

Grant me a new heart, O Lord

then my desires will not be for this world
but for they will be for you alone.

Be my love.

Be my joy.

Be my king.

You are my God.

I love you.

Amen.
