Lord of all, soften and incline my heart towards you. I ask that you reveal yourself to me through your word and bring me to fear. Open my eyes to your justice and holiness and cause me to tremble before you with humility. May I ever acknowledge that you are God and I am your creature. Please give me true wisdom, building up in me an increasing love, trust and desire for you. Knowing your holiness as well as your mercy and faithful covenantal love, make me always quick to confess my sin, repent, and rejoice in your grace. Keep tending my heart in this way especially in this planning phase between the uni semesters.
Amen.
