Night Prayer
Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
Inspiration
What does it mean to be pure in heart? Do being good and honest get us there? Despite our best efforts, pride finds a way to fill our hearts with selfish pursuits. But a heart that has been renewed by Jesus is a heart that seeks the Father’s will. And when we live in surrender to God, He shapes our will to His own. The more we pursue Him, the more He reveals Himself to us and through us.
Prayer
Lord, thank You for making me a new creation in You. Please purify my heart and mind so that my eyes may be opened more each day. Help me to conquer my pride so that I may know You more fully and see Your face. I give myself fully to You. In Jesus’ name, amen.
