Create In Me A Clean Heart

Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.  Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.  Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities. Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.  Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.--Psalm 51:7-11

Father,

Thank You that as I walk in the light in fellowship with You and with others that the precious blood of Your Son,  Jesus, cleanses me from all my sin.  If I confess my sin, Lord, You are faithful and just to forgive me and cleanse me from all unrighteousness.

Wash me, Lord, with the water of Your Word.  Allow it to root deeply in my heart and convict me of all unrighteousness.  Allow Your Word to transform me into Your image.  Allow it to set my heart aright and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Though my sins are as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.  In Your precious Son, Father, I am made clean.

Please Father, do not hide your face from me.  Blot out all my iniquities.  For they have gone over my head and, like a heavy burden, are too heavy for me.  I am troubled and bowed down...feeble, sore and broken.  There is no rest in my soul because of my sin.

O how happy is the man to whom God does not impute iniquity and in whose spirit there is no deceit.  Lord, I acknowledge my sin and all my desire is before You.  My heart pants, my strength fails...the light is gone from my eyes.  I am sorry for my sin.

But You, O Lord, are my God who forgives!  I have trusted in Your mercy and my hope is in Your Word.  My heart rejoices in Your salvation.  I sing to You because You have dealt bountifully with me!  You have turned my mourning to dancing and have girded me with the gladness of Your salvation.  You have forgiven all my sins...You are always with me...even when I make my bed in the depths of the sea...even there You find me...Your right hand leads me and holds me fast.

You have created in me a clean heart.  In Your Son, Jesus, I am a new creature.  Old things have passed away and behold all things have been made new!  You God have reconciled me to Yourself by Your Son.  Only in Him am I found righteous!  In Him I am washed as white as snow.

I will praise You forever because You, God, are my Portion.  The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places.  You do not cast me out but cover me in the blood of Your Son.  You are my hiding place.  Under Your wing, I take shelter.  I am with You always.

What can I render to You, my God, for all Your benefits to me???   Like David, I have taken the cup of Your salvation. Upon Your name will I call.

Make me an ambassador for You, Father.  I want to tell the precious people of this world about You.  i want to teach them Your ways by Your Spirit working in my life.  I want them to be converted unto YOU!
