After seeing and recognizing that he was a sinner, David expressed a desire to be renewed.
« Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. »(Psalms 51:10)
For a state of sin as deep as that in which David was, a partial improvement is not enough, nothing less than a new creation is required (John 3:3; Matthew 9:16), which no longer vacillates between good and evil.
And man cannot do this for himself, it is God who helps him to do it.
In three successive verses (10, 11 and 12), the name of the Spirit is repeated by the psalmist, who calls it first steadfast spirit, secondly a Holy Spirit, thirdly a willing spirit.
Whether it is a steadfast spirit, whether it is the Holy Spirit, whether it is a willing spirit, no one can give it to himself, it is given by God. This is why David asked God for it.
Well, we ourselves, as men, cannot renew ourselves, it is God Himself who changes us or helps us to do so.
PRAYER:
O Lord our God, put in our hearts the desire to be always renewed.
It is in the precious name of your son Jesus Christ that we pray, Amen.
