Broken....

I don't want to be a preacher of the gospel without first being broken by the gospel; transformed and renewed in my mind daily by your spirit and not my zeal.  Lord humble me.  Expose my heart and break off the shackles of any spiritual pride and hidden haughtiness within my own life.  Let me not walk around knowing and quoting scriptures without the knowledge of who you truly are in spirit and in truth.  In you I have my life, my being and without you I am a hopeless sinner.  Clean my hands and purify my heart before I ascend to Your holy hill.  Sanctify my soul oh God.  Wreck my whole paradigm of what I think I know about You and who I think I am in You oh God.  Let me never forget that it was Your goodness that lead me to repentance.  Lead me back to the cross where I first saw the light and the burdens of my heart rolled away.  Fill me with compassion and the supernatural ability to love with all patience kindness and hope beyond myself.  Let not my flesh glory in Your majestic presence dear Lord.  I now before you my King in reverence.  I decrease that you may always increase.
