Prayers
- God,
I want you to come into the temple of my heart and overturn the
tables of anger, bitterness unforgiveness, lies, wickedness, evil thought
and covetousness.
- Lord,
dig into the den of my heart. Expose it and chase all evil and dangerous
things that Your eyes cannot behold out of me.
- Father,
overturn all the seats of sin or dead works of my heart today.
- Everything
that is unholy, and has not given space to Holy Spirit to operate in me,
chase them out, O Lord.
- God,
please turn my heart to an acceptable home for Holy Spirit.
