Prayer based on Psalms 40:6. Themes: Sacrifice, Redemption, Obedience.

Dear Lord, I thank you for the promise that sacrifice and offering are not what you desire. You have opened my ears to hear your voice and understand your will. I am grateful that you do not require burnt offerings or sin offerings from me. Instead, you desire a humble and contrite heart. Help me to continually seek you and offer myself as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to you. May my life be a reflection of your love and grace. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
