But this is the covenant which I will make
with the house of Israel after those days,
says the Lord:
I will put my law within them,
and I will write it upon their hearts;
and I will be their God,
and they shall be my people.
Yes, O Lord, write upon our hearts.
Make our hearts like yours.
Give us a heart to love you completely.
Give us a heart to love our neighbor.
This is an agreement between you and me.
Help me to keep this agreement.
Give me the strength to be a child of the king.
Bring me into your kingdom.
Change my heart.
Give me a pure heart.
Give me wisdom and understanding to love as you would love.
Change me, O Lord.
How cold we are!
Show us the warmth of your love.
Jesus, you are the one.
We love you with all our heart.
Burn away anything that is not of you.
Make us your children.
Give us this new life.
Give us this new heart.
Give us the strength for the journey.
Show us the way.
We cannot do it without you, O Lord.
Amen.
