Psalm 51:7, 10- 12 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from your presence, and take not your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and uphold me with a willing spirit.
David asked for the right things in the right order. Cleanse me of my sin, then create a clean heart to replace my sinful heart. Renew a right spirit in me. Then keep me in Your presence, and let me experience the Holy Spirit in my life.
Then I will know the joy of Your salvation as you restore my life in You. And now that I am restored in You, I ask You, God, to uphold me every day as I trust in You.
This should be our prayer every day. Let's let David teach us to get things right in our lives. If you don't have joy in your life, now you know what you need to ask God for!
