Wipe away the smudges from my mind; the thoughts that would hinder me, and cloud my vision of You.
Let me see clearly.
Wash away my stains; those things that have been spilt on me by others and by my own indelicate handling of the situations I find myself in.
I was not always right.
Forgive me Lord.
Make good the marks that I gouged upon myself by my own wilful behaviour, when I knew the Holy Spirit was nudging me to behave.
I repent of this.
Purge me from my hidden sins; those secret and most hidden things.
I would be free of them.
Shine Your light into the very centre of my soul.
Into the things that smoulder; the things that left unchecked - would define me.
I would be pure.
Polish me - bring out the sparkle.
Let me be a thing of light and beauty, able to reflect Your glory.
So take me Lord, turn me over in Your hands.
I willingly submit myself for Your inspection.
And rejoice that that You have made me clean.
