Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from your presence, and take not your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and uphold me with a willing spirit. (Psalm 51:10-12 ESV)
In each of these six statements David makes it very clear - it's gotta start in me, within me. I need to be cleansed; I need an attitude check; I need to be in the presence of God; I need to allow the Holy Spirit to prompt me; I need His joyful spirit; I need His help to even be willing to make the changes He wants and I need. The buck stops here, with me.
