Purity Topic of the Month: Purity Prayer

A Prayer For Purity

Lord...

I give You all the desires of my heart -

may You bring them into line with

Your perfect will.

I give You my mind-

may it be filled with thoughts that could be brought into Your holy presence.

I give You my mouth-

may I speak only that which honors You,

encourages others, and reveals a pure heart.

I give You my body-

may I keep my body pure so that it is

a holy and honorable vessel, fit for Your use. 

I give You my friendships with young men-

may I set my heart on purity.  May You have authority over all my passions.

I give myself afresh to You.

Take my life and let it be

ever, always, pure for Thee. 

~ Taken from A Young Woman After God's Own Heart by Elizabeth George ~

"How can young people keep their way pure? By guarding it according to Your word. With my whole heart I seek you; do not let me stray from Your commandments.  I treasure Your word in my heart, so that I may not sin against You."  

~ Psalm 119:9-11
