"Renew a right spirit deep inside me," Psalm 51:10.
Dear God, I ask you to renew. For you to restore. It won't happen without you. Bring a right spirit into my deepest self. You, O God, creator of the cosmos, you've got to renew me. Make me a steadfast spirit. Form in my inward being, down into the genes of every cell, a willing spirit. I want a spirit of direction willing to hear you, to follow you, to be like you. And know this, dear God: I will tell others about your ways, and sinners will turn to you. I am guilty. Deliver me from my guilt. Then my voice will sing right out loud of your righteousness, I will break out with praise for you, O God of my salvation! As surely as you give me voice, I will declare! I will declare your praise! You, God, are good forever!
As we turn with a brother or sister today, as God breathes new breath within us, we speak his mercies. And, together, we give glory to the God of all grace.
