Biblical Prayer Focus

Psalm 51:15-17 O Lord, open my lips, and my mouth will declare your praise. For you will not delight in sacrifice, or I would give it; you will not be pleased with a burnt offering. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.

Beseech God for a broken and contrite heart. Ask Him to fill you with a loathing for any sin in your life. Seek His help in being bold to declare His praise.
