Psalm 51:10-12 NLT
Create in me a clean heart, O God. Renew a loyal spirit within me. Do not banish me from your presence, and don’t take your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and make me willing to obey you.
Praise the Lord, because of Christ, we have the presence of the Holy Spirit that can’t be removed. But, David experienced the separation from God that unconfessed sin brings. I love the phrase “make me willing to obey you.”
I pray our prodigals will have the same thought…. “help me be willing to obey you Lord.” Obedience begins with being willing to do so. From obedience our prodigal will be able to walk in loyalty and with a clean heart. In obedience they will find their greatest joy and blessing!
