PURIFY MY HEART

Have mercy upon me, O God,

according to thy lovingkindness:

according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies

blot out my transgressions.
Wash me throughly from mine iniquity,

and cleanse me from my sin.
For I acknowledge my transgressions:

and my sin is ever before me.
Against thee, thee only, have I sinned,

and done this evil in thy sight:

that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest,

and be clear when thou judgest.
Behold, I was shapen in iniquity;

and in sin did my mother conceive me.
Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts:

and in the hidden part thou shalt

make me to know wisdom.
Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean:

wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
Make me to hear joy and gladness;

that the bones which thou hast

broken may rejoice.
Hide thy face from my sins, a

nd blot out all mine iniquities.
Create in me a clean heart, O God;

and renew a right spirit within me.
Cast me not away from thy presence;

and take not thy holy spirit from me.
Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation;

and uphold me with thy free spirit.
Then will I teach transgressors thy ways;

and sinners shall be converted unto thee.
Psalm 51:7

 

 

 

 



GOD IS THE STRENGTH OF MY HEART

Whom have I in heaven but thee?

and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee.
My flesh and my heart faileth:

but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.
For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish:

thou hast destroyed all them that go a whoring from thee.

But it is good for me to draw near to God:

I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all thy works.
Psalm 73:25-28

 

GRACE FLOWS DOWN

For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners,

so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.
Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound.

But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:
That as sin hath reigned unto death,

even so might grace reign through righteousness

unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.

ROMANS 5:19-21

GRACE IN TIME OF NEED

 

 

 

For the word of God is quick, and powerful,

and sharper than any twoedged sword,

piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit,

and of the joints and marrow,

and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight:

but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes

of him with whom we have to do.
Seeing then that we have a great high priest,

that is passed into the heavens,

Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.
For we have not an high priest

which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities;

but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace,

that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
HEBREWS 4:12-16



CASTING ALL YOUR CARES ON HIM

Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty

hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil,

as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions

are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.
But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal

glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while,

make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.
To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

 I PETER 5:6-9

CHANGE MY HEART O GOD

 

 

 

Create in me a clean heart,

O God; and renew a right spirit within me.
Cast me not away from thy presence;

and take not thy holy spirit from me.
Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation;

and uphold me with thy free spirit.

Psalm 51:10
