Create in me a clean heart by Dr. Lynette Johnson

#worship #createinmeacleanheart #prayer #ashwednesday #lent #lentenmeditation #psalms51 #repentance #praise #praiseandworship Lent gently calls us back to a simple but life-changing truth: we need God—fully, deeply, daily. Not just for strength in hard seasons, but for breath, direction, forgiveness, and renewal. Joel’s call to “return…with all your heart” is not an invitation for the perfect—it is a call for the willing. David’s prayer in Psalm 51 reminds us that repentance is not about shame; it is about restoration. And Jesus’ words in Matthew—“Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near”—are not meant to condemn, but to awaken us to life with Him again. This is the posture of Lent: honest hearts, open hands, and a willingness to come back to God without pretending we are whole on our own. The cry of the heart echoes in the worship song Create in Me a Clean Heart— not a performance, but a prayer: “Lord, make me new again. Clean what I cannot clean. Restore what I cannot restore.” Because the truth is, transformation does not begin with trying harder. It begins with admitting our need. God is not waiting for polished people. He is waiting for returning hearts. When we surrender our pride, our sin, our distractions, and even our self-reliance, He meets us with mercy. He does not push us away—He draws us closer. He does not just forgive—He renews. Today, let your prayer be simple and sincere: “Create in me a clean heart, O God. Renew a right spirit within me.” And trust this promise— the God who calls you to return is the same God who restores you completely. Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a right spirit within me. Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from Thy presence; Take not Thy holy Spirit from me. Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation; And renew a right spirit within me.
