In this passage, Jesus reminds us that true purity isn’t about what enters our bodies but about what flows from our hearts. The words we speak, the attitudes we hold and the motives behind our actions all spring from within. This prayer invites us to bring our hearts before God—to ask Him to cleanse, renew, and fill us with holy love that reflects His nature. As you pray, open your heart to His transforming power—and if this prayer blesses you, please share it so others can experience the same renewal.

Prayer

Father, send the Holy Spirit to work on my heart. Give me a loving holiness within the core of my being. My desire is for everything that flows from me to be good, kind and loving. I present my heart to You. Heal it, cleanse it, wash it, restore it, and refresh it in the name of Jesus, amen.

Mark 7:14-23

Again Jesus called the crowd to him and said, “Listen to me, everyone, and understand this. Nothing outside a person can defile them by going into them. Rather, it is what comes out of a person that defiles them.” After he had left the crowd and entered the house, his disciples asked him about this parable. “Are you so dull?” he asked. “Don’t you see that nothing that enters a person from the outside can defile them? For it doesn’t go into their heart but into their stomach, and then out of the body.” (In saying this, Jesus declared all foods clean.) He went on: “What comes out of a person is what defiles them. For it is from within, out of a person’s heart, that evil thoughts come—sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly. All these evils come from inside and defile a person.”
