Search my heart, I pray, and identify in me any form of self-righteousness or pride that needs to be rooted out. Thank You that in Christ, I have already been declared righteous and accepted in the Beloved. But I pray that I may walk in spirit and truth and keep my self-life in the place of death so that the new life of Christ which I received at salvation, may grow in grace and mature in the faith. This I ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, there is nothing that commends me to You and yet in Your grace, You have washed away my sin through the blood of Jesus Christ, my sacrifice for sin. I confess that I have not loved and served You as I ought, and have too often placed my own selfish desires before obedience to Your Word. I admit, Lord, that I have done many things that are unworthy of Your name - but thank You that in Christ all my sins have been washed away. Keep me low at the Cross and broken before You, all the days of my life. This I ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
