Take From Me My Heart Of Stone

O Lord, remove from me this heart of stone, this stubborn heart, this unregenerate heart, and replace it with a new heart, a heart of flesh, a pure heart! You, who cleanse the hearts and cherish the pure in heart, take possession of my heart and reside within it, embracing it and filling it, loftier than my highest aspirations and more personal than my deepest thoughts. You, who reflect all beauty and embody every holiness, imprint my heart with Your image and encompass it with Your mercy, O God of my heart and my eternal heritage.Amen.
