"Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me".

This morning's scripture round the table.
Create: you have to do it God. It's not there.
In me: Yip, that's me. It's not there.
A pure heart: Not a perfect heart, rather a heart that is clean. One that lives washed by your love and grace and forgiveness, not clouded with grumpiness, hormones, life or stress.
O God: That's you!
Renew: Make new again. Take back to original setting. Not just recondition, but to make new, fresh, sparkly, young, alive. I'm a bit worn out and old here in this regard.
A steadfast spirit within me: A steady, not swayed by emotions and things, holding-fast-to-you kind of spirit INSIDE me, not on my sleeve. That's me in the in-most place.

Yip. A needed prayer whispered from the bottom of my heart as I stop and step back from slow internet, work piling up, wet bed linen from a little accident this morning, dishes, laundry to be folded, calls to Telkom and AfriHost, the to do list...

"Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me."
