LOVE..

My Hearts Prayer ….

Search my heart O God and reveal to me some wicked thing in me that I may not be aware of..Forgive and Cleanse my heart I pray, for my heart and soul belongs to You. My deep desire is to please You and love like You do. Clothe me in Your righteousness, Cover me with Your grace and mercy, Cleanse my mind and keep it pure with loving thoughts, May I always keep Your word hidden in my heart so I may not sin against You. Love You Lord with all my heart, soul, mind and all that is within me I will bless You, always and forever. I pray this prayer in the power of Your name to keep me strong. Amen

If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14

In this scripture God is referring to us, His people, not the people in the world, but to us who are called by His name to humble ourselves and pray and seek His face and turn from our wicked ways, then He will hear from heaven and forgive our sin and heal our land.

As I meditated on this verse and sought God about it, I wanted to know what He meant by wicked ways and I was led to Proverbs 12:22, then Proverbs 20:19 and there are more but I’m sure you get the gist of the matter so I won’t go any further and you can research for yourself other scriptures…

Over the years I’ve seen with my own eyes, discord within the body of Christ, casting judgment against their brothers and sisters, gossip, competing against each other and more. As a young person I couldn’t see God as being real because the things I saw weren’t Christ like at all and went against the word of God. I’m not saying I fell astray because of it all, but let’s just say it didn’t help. As I write this word and prayer it actually brings me to tears when I read John 13:35 where Jesus said, By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another…How disappointed He must be when we don’t..

In Matthew 22:37 Jesus replied: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.” And I believe when we do He gives us the ability to love others..

A couple a weeks ago the Lord put on my heart to share 2 Chronicles 7:14 and I must say my first reaction was, I can’t share that one, ~smile~ well as you can see with His help I did. Praise God and what a rewarding experience to walk in obedience to Him and what a precious jewel I’ve discovered today that was hidden in my heart for such a time as this…I feel emotional but it is happy tears ..

Well I pray this word will touch your heart as it has mine..love you sisters and dear brothers in Christ, may God bless you all in abundance, Lollita
