Wednesday 1st. Week of Lent

 The Prayer of King David. Ps. 51



After King David committed adultery and killed Bathsheba’s husband Uriah he repented. 


He prayed that God would wipe out his offense. 

And wash him from his guilt. 


And give him a new heart and a new spirit

And not cast him away from His presence. 


For rather than slaughtering bulls and goats to offer for his sins,

David knew that what God wanted from him was a humble and contrite heart. 


When we sin, We may not sin as seriously as King David,

But hopefully our hearts will be as humble and contrite as David’s  when we do.
