HEBREWS 10:16… “This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws upon their heart, and on their mind I will write them.”

Lord God, I surrender my heart to You praying that You fill my heart and my mind with knowledge of Your will for my life. I turn to the writings of Your apostles and prophets, who spoke and wrote with a heavenly wisdom poured out within them through the empowering of Your Holy Spirit, for understanding, for insight, for wisdom, for guidance. May my heart be in lockstep with theirs and with Yours. In matters wherein my understanding, or my life, is in agreement with Your law, may my heart assure me before You.  In those matters wherein my understanding, or my life, is outside scope of what Your law approves, may my heart condemn me and drive me back to truth.  I’m grateful, Lord, that I need not turn to the teachings of men for guidance, knowledge, and wisdom but that I need only ask of You and that You give to all generously and without reproach.  In all things, Oh Lord, I ask that Your Holy Spirit work mightily within me so that I am not conformed to this world, but transformed by the renewing of my mind so that I may prove what Your will is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect, not only by the things that I believe and the stands that I take, but by the way I live my life. To You, Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow, be all my love, devotion, adoration, and praise.  By the authority and permission of Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior, Your only begotten Son, I submit these requests unto You this day, Oh God… amen, and amen!
