“Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭51‬:‭10‬-‭12‬ ‭NIV‬‬

You and I are human which means you and I are sinners. You and I must daily confess our sins and ask God for forgiveness. We each have times in our lives when we get so caught up in a particular sin that we feel we cannot break the cycle of committing the sin, confessing and asking forgiveness, and then falling into the trap again.

This Mindset Monday I encourage you to truly repent and turn. Read today’s scripture as a prayer. Look at today’s picture and think of God’s grace and forgiveness washing over you to clean and renew your spirit. Feel the cool and refreshing water of the Holy Spirit washing you white as snow.

Yesterday I shared with you the biblical definition of revival. As defined by Merriam-Webster dictionary, revival is renewed attention to or interest. Today, let’s adopt a revival mindset. Let’s confess our sin, ask for forgiveness, and renew our attention toward’s God. Let’s allow God to create a pure heart in each of us.

Dear God, Thank you for your mercy, forgiveness, and grace. “Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.” (‭‭Psalms‬ ‭51‬:‭12‬ ‭NIV‬‬) In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
