Prayer based on Luke 11:39. Themes: hypocrisy, inner purity, justice

Dear Lord, please help me to not just focus on the outward appearance of my life, but to also cleanse my inward parts. May I not be full of extortion and wickedness, but instead be filled with your love and righteousness. Help me to be genuine in my faith and not just put on a show for others. Thank you for your grace and mercy. Amen.

Verse: The Lord said to him,“Now you Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the platter, but your inward part is full of extortion and wickedness.
Luke 11:39

This is a Command. The Lord commands the Pharisees to cleanse their inward parts of extortion and wickedness, not just the outside of their cups and platters.
