A) Psalm 51, verse 10, is a personal prayer I recite every day during my devotions: “Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.” I cannot create my own clean heart; I need God to create it, develop it, and sustain it within me. The next part of the verse, “renew a right spirit,” implies that sometimes the spirit I operate in is more of the old Dave and not the new Dave. I need the Lord’s assistance to ensure that I maintain a steadfast, upright, righteous, willing, and humble spirit before Him.
