Lord, You said You would sift Your people like grain in a sieve. Sift me too. Shake out the selfish parts, the mean words, the lies, and the stuff that does not belong in my life anymore. Keep the parts that love You and love others. I am okay with the shaking, even when it is uncomfortable. Make me good grain by the time You are done with me. Amen.
