Prayer of My Heart's Desire 

Jesus, I know You, but not as I would.

Jesus, I love You, but not as I should.

Let me draw nearer, enfolded in Thee,

Until all can see You reflected in me.

Work in my heart, Lord; work in my life.

Make me what You want as friend, mother, wife.

Change me -- keep changing -- show me my sin.

Burn out the dross;  revive me again!

"Come near to God and He will come near to you.  
Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded....
Humble yourselves before the Lord,
                       and He will lift you up."                        
(James 4:8 NIV)

"And we also thank God continually because, when you received the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men, but as it actually is, the word of God, which is at work in you who believe."
(1 Thessalonians 2:13 NIV)
