What are my idols?
Dear God Almighty,
I want to sit in your presence and hear you speak to me.
But perhaps I’m worshipping something else,
something about me and for me,
instead of listening for your will
or obeying what I already know I should be doing.
I do desire clean hands,
a pure heart,
and a soul that’s not idolatrous.
The truth is, worship of you only is hard.
I naturally drift toward self-centeredness.
Show me where I go wrong,
where I steer away from loving you completely.
What are my idols?
Are they people I love?
Success?
Acceptance?
Recognition?
Security?
Cleanse me of these desires
and give me a pure heart
that seeks only You.
You are my One and Only,
my Alpha and Omega.
my Beginning and End.
You alone.
And thank you for your patience with me.
In Jesus’ name,
Amen.
