Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity.

I will cleanse them from all their iniquity by which they have sinned against Me, and I will pardon all their iniquities by which they have sinned and by which they have transgressed against Me. Jeremiah 33:8

Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean; I will cleanse you from all your filthiness and from all your idols. Ezekiel 36:25

Sin is always crouching at the door isn't it? It is so easy for me to think that I am not all that bad. That I have it together and that God is so pleased with me and my efforts. But His word purifies me. He has to cleanse me from my iniquity because I have plenty of it. From my selfishness to my attitute. From my want for everyone to serve me and cater to my needs to my feeling good about the things that I do.

Father please forgive me for seeking my worth and value in other people's eyes instead of seeking my value in my identity in You. Forgive me of my vanity and selfishness and make me into Your son's image. You are so good.
