Scripture:

“Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.”
—Psalm 51:10 (KJV)

---

Devotional Thought:

Psalm 51 is David’s raw cry after he fell into sin. It wasn’t polished. It wasn’t pretty. It was real.

David didn’t ask for a second chance to prove himself. He didn’t try to explain or excuse his failure. He went straight to the heart of it:
“Create in me a clean heart.”

That’s the power of true repentance—it doesn’t ask God to fix our mess, it asks Him to change us.

We don’t just need forgiveness. We need renewal.
We don’t just need a do-over. We need a new heart.

God is not afraid of your dirt. He’s not intimidated by your mistakes. He’s a Creator—and if He made your heart once, He can recreate it again. No matter how far you’ve drifted or how heavy your guilt feels, God’s mercy can reach you right now.

This verse isn’t just a confession—it’s a request for transformation.
Ask Him boldly:

“Lord, don’t just clean me—change me. Make me new.”

Reflection Questions:

• Are you asking God to clean your heart or just clean up your situation?

• Is there anything you need to let go of so God can renew your spirit?

Prayer:

Father,
I don’t just want a surface-level fix—I want a deep heart transformation.
Cleanse me from every sin, attitude, and desire that grieves Your Spirit.
Remove the pride, bitterness, and secret struggles.
Make my heart new again.
I invite You to do surgery on my soul.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
