Isaiah 1:18
"Come now, let us argue this out," says the LORD. "No matter how deep the stain of your sins, I can remove it. I can make you as clean as freshly fallen snow. Even if you are stained as red as crimson, I can make you as white as wool."


God, I ask now that through the Holy Spirit, the love of Jesus would be shown to me. I present my heart to you. Parts of my heart are hard. I've been betrayed and hurt. God, I want you to soften my heart so that my spirit will be open to You and Your life will be made real in me.

God, I open myself to You now. Please come and meet with me. I love you and want to spend time with connecting with you. Wash me clean. Fill me with Your spirit. Open my spiritual ears so I can hear what you say to me. Heal my wounds and remove every barrier to us.

Today I want to receive in a new way the understanding of the love of Jesus and the grace of God. I trust you for that. Amen.
