Pure heart

There is nothing that we can do in our own power that can remove our guilt and shame. 

But like David, we can still come to God in prayer after our worst sins and still receive a second chance. 

A very good prayer is for God to give us His grace, a fresh start and a clean heart.

“Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me. Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.”
