Monday
Read Psalm 51:1-12
Be merciful to me, O God,
because
of your constant love.
Because
of your great mercy
wipe
away my sins!
2 Wash
away all my evil
and
make me clean from my sin!
3 I
recognize my faults;
I
am always conscious of my sins.
4 I
have sinned against you—only against you—
and
done what you consider evil.
So
you are right in judging me;
you
are justified in condemning me.
5 I
have been evil from the day I was born;
from
the time I was conceived, I have been sinful.
6 Sincerity
and truth are what you require;
fill
my mind with your wisdom.
7 Remove
my sin, and I will be clean;
wash
me, and I will be whiter than snow.
8 Let
me hear the sounds of joy and gladness;
and
though you have crushed me and broken me,
I
will be happy once again.
9 Close
your eyes to my sins
and
wipe out all my evil.
10 Create
a pure heart in me, O God, and put a new and loyal spirit in me.
11 Do
not banish me from your presence;
do
not take your holy spirit away from me.
12 Give
me again the joy that comes from your salvation,
and
make me willing to obey you.
Think
Create a pure heart in me, O God and put a new and loyal
spirit in me. (Verse 10)
David had done some terrible stuff - but he believes that God
can still purify his heart and restore his Spirit.
Pray
Help me to know that nothing in my heart is too much for you.
