Soul Scrubbed

Loving Jesus,

My soul is dirty, 

filled with the clutter of old sins 

and the baggage of attachments 

that I have held on to 

for far too long. 

My inability to let go of the past 

has been weighing me down 

and keeping You at a distance. 

But now, 

I am willing to let You into 

all of the dark corners 

where the dust and cobwebs 

of my transgressions reside.  

Cleanse my soul, 

sweet Savior. 

Scrub me clean with Your forgiveness, 

remove my hurt 

with the promise of Your tender mercy, 

haul away my wickedness 

and absolve me with Your fragrance of love. 

Polish my soul. 

Restore it to the beauty,

goodness and light 

for which it was created.  

Then, take off Your apron 

and make Yourself at home 

in my spotless soul.

Amen.
