God, change my desires. All day long, my thoughts are filled with longings of the flesh; not necessarily bad longings, but fleshly ones no less. I know that many of them are God-given, for man is a physical being.... but I ask that the desires of my heart would not be for them. I can only ask this, because I cannot forcibly change any of it myself. Let my heart breathe after eternal, not temporal things. Let my eyes see the spiritual, not just the physical realm. Let my life be given all to You. Even now, there's a great portion of me that would rather take back these requests. God, turn me upside down and empty me out if need be, but cast me deeper into the things of God, that the shore of this physical life will eventually disappear.
In Jesus' Name.
