Not My Own Selfish Self

Psalm 86: 11-12

Teach me Your ways, O Lord, that I may live according to Your truth! Grant me purity of heart, so that I may honor You. With all my heart I will praise You, O Lord my God. I will give glory to Your Name forever.

O my Father, thank You so much for Your unfailing love, Your mercy, Your compassion. Your grace is so great to me. Your Truth, O God, is what I seek, for I desire to know You. You are my Lord, O God of my salvation. 

You have rescued me from the quicksand of my own indulgent desires and placed my feet upon the Rock; and I will never be moved, for that Rock is unmovable. Strengthen me, O Lord, to live according to Your Truth. 

Grant me purity of heart, so that I may honor You. Allow the thoughts of my heart and the words of my mouth and the works of my hands to be only of You, my Lord, not of my own selfish self. Empty me of me, O Lord, that I may be filled with You.

Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
