Jesus taught us to come boldly to the Father (Hebrews 4:16).
Father, You see my heart completely—every motive, every desire, every hidden corner I try to keep from You. I confess that my heart is often deceitful and leads me away from You. Thank You for the promise of a new heart through Jesus. Transform me from the inside out. Create in me a clean heart and renew a right spirit within me. In Jesus' name, Amen.
