Loving Jesus,
My soul is dirty,
filled with the clutter of old sins
and the baggage of attachments
that I have held on to
for far too long.
My inability to let go of the past
has been weighing me down
and keeping You at a distance.
But now,
I am willing to let You into
all of the dark corners
where the dust and cobwebs
of my transgressions reside.
Cleanse my soul,
sweet Savior.
Scrub me clean with Your forgiveness,
remove my hurt
with the promise of Your tender mercy,
haul away my wickedness
and absolve me with Your fragrance of love.
Polish my soul.
Restore it to the beauty,
goodness and light
for which it was created.
Then, take off Your apron
and make Yourself at home
in my spotless soul.
Amen.
How wonderful; inspired. I began my prayer with it this evening. Thank you.
