Ezekiel 36:24:28For here’s what I’m going to do: I’m going to take you out of these countries, gather you from all over, and bring you back to your own land.I’ll pour pure water over you and scrub you clean. I’ll give you a new heart, put a new spirit in you. I’ll remove the stone heart from your body and replace it with a heart that’s God-willed, not self-willed.I’ll put my Spirit in you and make it possible for you to do what I tell you and live by my commands. You’ll once again live in the land I gave your ancestors. You’ll be my people! I’ll be your God!Lord, bring me back from where I have wandered. Gather me and hold me in your arms. Woo my heart with your Spirit, your love and your joy. Show me what I am missing every day by not acknowledging your presence.Forgive me of my sins. Pour water over me and scrub me clean. Refresh my heart, put your spirit in me, cleanse my heart. Make my heart new. Grant me a heart that is God-willed and not so full of me and what I want.Fill me with your joy, your patience and your perseverance so that it is possible for me to do what you want me to do. Help me to live by your commands. Help me to turn to you every minute of every day. Help me make my decisions and my choices according to your wishes, not mine.Lord, be my God today. Fill me with your presence and your love. Fill me with joy today.
