“The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?” Jeremiah 17:9
A close look into the mirror of God’s law shows us the true condition of our hearts — inclined to selfishness and sin against God’s commandments and deceiving us into thinking we are good. Only Christ is good, and He is the only Savior!
Have mercy upon me, O God, and forgive the wickedness of my heart for the sake of the shed blood of Christ Jesus, my Savior. In His name, I pray. Amen.
[Scripture is quoted from the King James Version of the Bible.]
