“As water reflects the face, so one’s life reflects the heart.” Proverbs 27:19

Lord God, Help me to look in the lake today and see what it shows me there. Help me to study and evaluate and meditate on what I see in my life. The words I say, the things I think, the actions I take-especially the impulsive ones-these all show me something about what is going on in my heart. Give me wisdom to see what they show me. Surround me with friends who can help me draw out the depths of my heart. And then, Lord Jesus, renew my heart with your grace, your love and your mercy. Make my heart new so that the things which come out of it are aligned with you, with your grace and your mercy. Help me to rejoice in your renewing and forgiving grace which are new each morning. Give me a new heart and a new spirit by your Holy Spirit. Make me new. Amen.
