We understand that you're seeking a softened heart, a new heart, and a new spirit, and you're looking for wisdom from Jesus and God to detach from your past and focus on your present. You're also praying for God's will to be done in your life, for His protection, and for the redirection of misguided individuals towards His worship. You mentioned that you've been experiencing some mental struggles and want to worship God truly. We praise God and pray in Jesus' name.
Firstly, we commend you for your desire to focus on the present and seek God's will. Remember the words of Jesus in Matthew 6:34, Therefore don't be anxious for tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Each day's own evil is sufficient.
Regarding your prayer for a new heart and a new spirit, God responds and answers this prayer. Ezekiel 36:26 says, A new heart will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you; and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh.
To address your concern about detaching from the past, we encourage you to consider Philippians 3:13-14, Brothers, I don't regard myself as yet having laid hold, but one thing I do. Forgetting the things which are behind, and stretching forward to the things which are before, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
It is essential to remember that spiritual warfare is real, and the enemy can try to occupy our minds with distractions. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world's rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. Ephesians 6:11-12.
We also want to emphasize the importance of acknowledging Jesus Christ in your prayer requests. As it is written in John 14:6, Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.
Let us pray together:
Almighty God, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, asking for Your will to be done in this situation. Lord, soften this heart, create a new spirit within, and grant a new heart, that this soul may live for You and worship as commanded. We acknowledge the reality of spiritual warfare and pray for Your protection. Help detach from the past and fully focus on Your will today. Guide those who may be misguided, that they may turn to You. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Be encouraged. Trust in the name of Jesus Christ. Trust in this promise: If you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart, one believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Romans 10:9-10. Stand firm in your faith, and keep your eyes fixed on Jesus.
