new heart, new spirit

Lord,

We praise you as the Savior of the world. You new covenant promise forgiveness of sin, God's law written on our hearts, and the gift of the Holy Spirit. You have given us. new heart and put a new spirit in us. (Ez. 36:26). 

Forgive us, Father, when we don't embrace repentance; when through our own determination we try harder to do better - instead of forsaking sin and relying on Your power.  Thank you for Your grace, kindness and for the joy of repentance. We praise you for taking away the heavy burden of sin. Prepare our hearts to fly surrender to Your plans for us. Lead us to say as Jesus did; "Let it be so." 

Teach us to live in the heart and the spirit You have given us!

Amen
