Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit to sustain me. (Psa 51:10-12 NIV)

Prayer: LORD, I ask You to restore the joy of our relationship. Though I am sometimes overcome by feelings or circumstances, I am grateful for the assurance that You are always willing to restore, renew, and strengthen me so that my joy in You can remain whole and strong regardless of circumstances. Do what You need to do in my life to make it so. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
