Create in me a pure heart, O God,
and renew a steadfast spirit within me…
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit;
a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise…
Let me hear joy and gladness;
let the bones you have crushed rejoice (Psalm 51:10, 17, 8 NIV).

Lord, I confess that I have sinned against You.
I am embarrassed; I know better,
but I fail to live a holy life that reflects You.
Help me to do what is right
and turn away from my selfishness.
Let my intentions be pure.
Thank You for forgiving me;
take charge of my life.
Let me be so connected to You
that I resist going my own way.
Help me to love You more. Amen.
