Dear Heavenly Father,
We thank you for giving us the gift of minds. We know that you gave us this gift in order that we might know you and find our greatest joy in thinking about you. Forgive us our many intellectual sins. For allowing our minds to think thoughts unworthy of you, for thinking thoughts of rebellion rather than obedience, evil rather than good, doubt rather than faith. Forgive us our forgetfulness, our wandering minds, our short attention spans, and our wayward imaginations.
Thank you for redeeming our minds in Christ, and for imparting your Spirit within us for the renewal of our minds. Redeem our patterns of thinking that we will think rightly, obediently, and humbly. Give us imaginations guided by the Scriptures, awe as we worship you with our minds, and conviction in order to share the gospel of Jesus Christ with others.
Create in us a pure mind, oh Lord, and train our intellects in the school of your Word.
Amen
