Pursuing Purity
Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.—Psalm 51:10 (NIV)

Stephen’s last words are a final prayer of complete selflessness. Examine your prayer life—does it center on your own needs or reflect the needs of those around you? Fill your heart with compassion and pray on behalf of those who need it.
Heavenly Father, guide me to pray selflessly with Your mercy in mind.

Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.—Psalm 51:10 (NIV)
