Falling Into Theold Patterns Of Sin

A life of sin leads me to death. Humbly bow our heads. Surrender our hearts before God and murmur to yourself: I only want what You want. I dedicate my desires to You, Lord. I ask that You eradicate any desire in me, that could lead to defiance, disobedience and destruction. Lord, let it be so for me today. Father God, I don't want to keep falling into the same old patterns of sin again and again. Open my eyes to see any areas of disobedience in my life. Show me where my choices are leading toward destruction and help me turn away from any and every misplaced desire. I long for a heart that's fully aligned with Yours. "Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting." (From the Psalms of the Old Testament of the holy Bible. Psalm 139: 23-24, NIV)
