Psalm 51:1-12

King David, once he realized what he had done, not only begged forgiveness from God, but more importantly asked to be made new, made to be a better person. My husband often tells me, “Don’t be sorry, try to do it better”.

David asks for the correct action:

Hide your face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities. Create in me a clean heart, O God, and put a new and right spirit within me. Do not cast me away from your presence, and do not take your holy spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and sustain in me a willing spirit.

We can always ask God for a “do over”, hallelujah!
