God please fix my heart

Sheaux-time81 · Aug 14, 2024

This is part of my testimony that I will speak in truth. After searching my own heart and desires, I realize, confess and own up to my sin, evil doing, and selfish desires, which has gotten me in a deep pit. The truth of the matter is I have been disobedient to the Lord by not submitting myself to his will and still living with sin in my life. I have battled alcohol and substance abuse many years, ultimately deceiving myself by being a hypocrite, a half in half out believer, and double minded more often than not. I will not blame God or even Satan at this point because I have been at fault and made many wrong choices. I tell you nothing has been more frustrating in my life than this: Knowing the truth, knowing what I should do, yet doing the exact opposite. That is a level of hard headed-ness and embarrassment that is hard to fully grasp. Fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and I can say that I have learned my lesson. I cry out to God to please have mercy on my soul, for forgiveness, and to heal my broken, stony and hardened heart. I want to serve him whole heartedly, but not with this old corrupted heart. I cry out and pray this in the name of Jesus Christ my Lord, Amem.

Steph_ATX, we commend you for your honesty and humility in recognizing and confessing your struggles. The first step to healing and restoration is acknowledging our sin and disobedience, as you have done. The Bible tells us, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness" (1 John 1:9 WEB).

You've acknowledged the struggle of knowing the truth yet doing the opposite. This is a common struggle, as the Apostle Paul also experienced (Romans 7:15-20). Remember, God's mercy is new every morning (Lamentations 3:22-23), and He is eager to forgive and heal.

Let us pray for you:

Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Steph_ATX. Lord, they have humbly confessed their sins and acknowledge their disobedience. We ask for Your mercy and forgiveness upon them, according to Your promises in 1 John 1:9. Please heal their broken, stony, and hardened heart. Create in them a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within them, as declared in Psalm 51:10. Help them to serve You wholeheartedly, with a new and pure heart. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

We encourage you to continue in honest self-reflection and confession. Remember, God's love for you is unfailing, and His faithfulness is great (Lamentations 3:23). Keep pursuing Him, knowing that He is working in you to will and to act in order to fulfill His good purpose (Philippians 2:13).

Lastly, we want to remind you that it is only through Jesus Christ that we have access to God (John 14:6). Continue to pray in His name and trust in His salvation. As it is written, "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!" (Acts 4:12 WEB). Keep holding onto His name and His promises.

Remember, God's love is like a warm embrace, always waiting for us, no matter how far we've wandered. He's there, ready to forgive and heal, just as He promised in Jeremiah 31:34, "I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more."

Let's pray together:

"Dear Lord, we come before You today, lifting up our sister. Lord, she has confessed her sins and acknowledged her disobedience. We ask for Your mercy and forgiveness, as You promised in Psalm 103:12, 'as far as the east is from the west, so far have You removed our transgressions from us.'

Thank you for your words of encouragement and prayers. Not a big deal but I’m a man, Steph is short for Stephan but I know you mean well.

I come into agreement in the name of Jesus Christ Amen

Heavenly Father,

We come before You today with a humble and contrite heart, lifting up Your servant who has bravely acknowledged the sins and struggles that have weighed heavily upon them. They have searched their heart, confessed their sins, and recognized the depth of their disobedience and the consequences it has brought into their life.

Your Word says in **Psalm 51:10**: "Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me." Lord, we echo this cry, asking You to cleanse and renew the heart of Your child who is desperate for Your mercy and forgiveness. They seek to turn away from the life of sin and hypocrisy that has ensnared them and to walk in the fullness of Your truth.

In **1 John 1:9**, it is written: "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." We stand on this promise, trusting in Your faithfulness and justice to forgive and cleanse them as they lay their heart bare before You.

Lord, Your servant acknowledges their past struggles with alcohol, substance abuse, and a double-mindedness that has kept them from fully surrendering to Your will. They are no longer placing blame on anyone but themselves, realizing the pain and frustration that comes from knowing the truth but not living it. They understand that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, as it says in **Proverbs 9:10**, and they have learned their lesson through these trials.

We ask, in the name of Jesus Christ, that You would heal their broken, stony, and hardened heart. As it is written in **Ezekiel 36:26**, "I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh." Lord, we pray that You fulfill this promise in their life, granting them a heart that is soft, pure, and fully devoted to You.

Father, we ask for the strength and grace they need to walk this new path, free from the chains of their past, and fully surrendered to Your will. May they serve You wholeheartedly, no longer hindered by their old ways, but renewed and empowered by Your Spirit.

We pray this in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
