Lord, give me a new heart!

[Ezekiel 36:26] “I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit, I will put within you. I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh”.

Prayer: Lord guard my heart, take away my heart of stone and give me a new heart and put your Spirit within me. Lord rebuke all that is in me that is not from you, like you rebuked your disciples. Create in me a heart of a true disciple. Come Holy Spirit, give me a new heart, give me Your heart of love and humility. Set my heart on fire of your love.

In the bible Jesus rebukes:

Lack of faith: [Mathew 8:26] He said to them, “Why are you terrified, O you of little faith?” Then he got up, rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was great calm.

Human thinking: [Mark 8:33] At this he turned around and, looking at his disciples, rebuked Peter and said, “Get behind me, Satan. You are thinking not as God does, but as human beings do.”

Unbelief even after we’ve seen miracles in our lives: [John 12:37] Although he had performed so many signs in their presence they did not believe in him.

Hardness of heart & Unbelief: [Mark 16:14] later, as the eleven were at table, he appeared to them and rebuked them for their unbelief and hardness of heart because they had not believed those who saw him after he had been raised.

Failure to acknowledge God and desire for human praise/approval: [John 12:42,43] Nevertheless, many, even among the authorities, believed in him, but because of the Pharisees they did not acknowledge it openly in order not to be expelled from the synagogue. For they preferred human praise to the glory of God

We do not know what we are asking in prayer: [Mathew 20:22] Jesus said in reply, “You do not know what you are asking

Lord Jesus, because of your great love for me, you have given me power over everything and you call me your child. In the name of Jesus, I rebuke unforgiveness, lack of faith, unbelief, human thinking, unbelief even after seeing many miracles, hardness of heart, failure to acknowledge you, desire for human praise/human approval more than your approval Lord, asking for things that are not inline with Your will, lukewarmness and coldness of heart. Fill me with more of your Holy Spirit and give me the desire to love you more and always to do your holy will. Amen.

[Psalm 51:12] “A clean heart create for me, God; renew within me a steadfast spirit.”
