Gilgal, Taking Away the Reproach

This is a good prayer: “Dear Lord Jesus, I know for certain that you died on the cross for sinners like me. I need forgiveness of sins and a new heart, a heart that loves you and loves the people of God. I renounce my own ways and my own thoughts and want to walk in your ways in your thoughts. Although I have often been hard and cold in my heart and have not loved you nor your people as I ought, yet I know that is my sin and I do renounce it. Renew a right spirit within me. You have said that you will give the Holy Spirit to them that ask, and I ask you, O Lord Jesus, that the fruit of the Spirit may be manifest in my life to the glory of God and the work of your kingdom. Amen and Amen.”
