Almighty God, thank you for how you have revealed Yourself in my life thus far
during this Lenten season of preparation.
O God, I come before you with a simple request: create a clean heart in me. I desire to have a humble heart, a meek heart, a peaceful heart, a benevolent heart, a devout heart which does evil to no one, which does not repay evil for evil, but overcomes evil with good, which loves you above all things, thinks always about you, speaks about you, gives you thanks, delights in hymns and spiritual songs, and has its citizenship in heaven.
In Christ's name I pray, Amen.
