HELP US RETAIN YOUR WORD

Romans 1:28-29 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; 29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperer

Father, we say we love You, but we do not think retaining the knowledge of Your Word is worthwhile. So we are walking around with depraved minds as we continue to do the things that separate us from You., You said that we should present our bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to You, which is our spiritual worship. Father, teach us how to worship and praise You with a pure heart; so we may pass the test and not be rejected. Father, help us not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewal of our minds. Let Your Word penetrate our hearts as You baptize us with the Holy Spirit; that makes us acceptable and perfect in Your sight. Father, give us Your wisdom and the knowledge to implement Your Words into our daily lives. Father, let the Spirit nourish our Fruit and help us develop Christ-like character that will strengthen our faith and help us obey You. Lord, examine our hearts and remove all that is not of You; and replace it with the desires of the Spirit so we will walk in righteousness, unity, and love.   In Jesus' name, Amen
