Prayer of the Pure Hearts Movement

Prayer of the Pure Hearts Movement

Lord, I thank You for the gift of my life. You created me as a man/woman, placing in me the desire for fellowship and union with a woman/man and the longing to love and be loved.
Yet I do not always know how to possess this gift. Teach me the wisdom to govern my desires and grant me strength for this.
I believe that for You there are no hopelessly dirty, sinful, and ruined people. I give to You, Lord, my memory, mind, will, feelings, my soul and body—everything that I am, and all that I have. I desire in this way to surrender myself completely into Your ownership, that You may teach me to love truly.
Grant me also to discern what my calling is as a man/woman.
I promise to learn to control my sexual desires. To this end I also resolve not to purchase or read immoral books and magazines, not to watch pornographic films or internet sites.
I understand that without You I cannot do any good. Lord, I ask You, teach me to live and act so that the most important thing in my life is love.
Most Holy Theotokos, my Mother, lead me to the very source of Love—God in the Holy Trinity, one—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, to whom belongs glory, honor, and worship forever and ever. Amen.
