Create in me a clean heart, O God,
And renew a steadfast spirit within me.
Do not cast me away from Your presence
And do not take Your Holy Spirit from me.
Restore to me the joy of Your salvation
And sustain me with a willing spirit.
- Psalm 51:10-12

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness… 1 John 1:9

We had had a number of candidates and commentators start describing a major segment of our population as Joe Six-pack. This is certainly an indictment on our culture. It is a tragedy when we can be described in terms of a six pack rather than character or integrity or values.

As we pray today we need to ask the Lord to do a work in our lives and, at the same time, realize that it is up to the followers of Christ to be salt and light. We need to cry out to God in repentance and with a great desire to be dependent on Him. As Christians we must have a greater sense of urgency to be prayer warriors.
