Day 2 | A Clean Heart
Psalm 51 is a raw and honest prayer from David after he had gotten tangled up in sinful behavior. He didn’t make excuses, and he didn’t try to cover it up. He simply turned to God and asked for forgiveness and mercy. He understood that sin wasn’t just about breaking rules, but about damaging his relationship with God.
Lent invites you to pray this same prayer: "Create in me a clean heart." It’s a time to bring your brokenness to God. God doesn't want you to confess your sins and mistakes so he can condemn you and make you feel guilty, but so he can free you and heal you. His forgiveness has no conditions. No matter how far we’ve wandered, he is always willing to make us new.
Pray: God, I know I've fallen short. I need your mercy and grace. Create in me a clean heart and renew my spirit. Amen.

About this Plan
Lent is an opportunity to pause, reflect, and turn your heart fully toward God. It’s a 40-day period leading up to Easter spent reflecting on Jesus' journey to the cross and preparing our hearts for the celebration of his resurrection. Ultimately, Lent begins with an invitation from God: Return to me. Spend this Lenten season diving into our 6-part Bible Reading Plan designed to help you set aside distractions and refocus on how God is moving in your life.
