Make Me New

Make me new, my Lord

So I can see You;

Make me clean, my Lord

So I can hear you;

Keep my heart pure,

Keep my thoughts clear.

May I walk with you

May you always be near!

God, the Creator of the Universe, loves you and cares about you.

He is pure like the Sunlight and nothing can be ever hidden from His sight. He is everywhere and He is with You.

Every day gives you a new chance to let go of the past, to reflect on the present and to pray about the future. Try to keep your thoughts clear by holding no bad feelings towards others and towards yourself. Forgive and you will be forgiven.

Be love, be compassion, be the beautiful You!

Ask God today to give you strength to continue this journey, called “life”.

Keep your heart pure, by praying, thinking good thoughts and focusing on God’s mercy and love…

God loves you. He hears your prayers and He is always with you.

Create in me a clean heart, O God,
    and renew a right spirit within me.

Psalm 51:10

He who has clean hands and a pure heart,
    who does not lift up his soul to what is false
    and does not swear deceitfully.
He will receive blessing from the Lord
    and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

Psalm 24:4-5

Great is Your love

For you are great and do marvelous deeds;
    you alone are God.

 Teach me your way, Lord,
    that I may rely on your faithfulness;
give me an undivided heart,
    that I may fear your name.


 I will praise you, Lord my God, with all my heart;
    I will glorify your name forever.
For great is your love toward me…

You, Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God,
    slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness.


Turn to me and have mercy on me;
    show your strength on behalf of your servant;
save me, because I serve you
    just as my mother did.
 

Psalm 86: 10-16

The Lord is Your Refuge

Psalm 91

 

Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High
    will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress,

    my God, in whom I trust.”

Surely he will save you
    from the fowler’s snare
    and from the deadly pestilence.

He will cover you with his feathers,

    and under his wings you will find refuge;
    his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.

You will not fear the terror of night,

    nor the arrow that flies by day,

nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,

    nor the plague that destroys at midday.

A thousand may fall at your side,

    ten thousand at your right hand,
    but it will not come near you.

You will only observe with your eyes

    and see the punishment of the wicked.


If you say, “The Lord is my refuge,”

    and you make the Most High your dwelling,

no harm will overtake you,

    no disaster will come near your tent.

For he will command his angels concerning you

    to guard you in all your ways;

they will lift you up in their hands,

    so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.

You will tread on the lion and the cobra;

    you will trample the great lion and the serpent.


“Because he  loves me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue him;

    I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.

He will call on me, and I will answer him;

    I will be with him in trouble,
    I will deliver him and honor him.

With long life I will satisfy him

    and show him my salvation.”
