神阿，求你為我造清潔的心，使我裡面重新有正直的靈。——詩51：10
你是照著上帝的形象被造的，你被造出來做上帝的朋友。不與上帝交通，你的心永遠也無法得到滿足。就像鐵受磁鐵的吸引一樣，饑渴的靈也被上帝所吸引。儘管你也可能與千千萬萬的其他人一樣，在罪性中更容易受屬世的吸引，但總有一天，甚至在你讀到這些文字的時候，你終將感到內心深處那屬世的大熔爐也無法填補的空虛。那時你將會同遍嘗犯罪的誘人之處卻仍然感到空虛的大衛一起歌頌，「你是我的神，我要切切地尋求你，在乾旱疲乏無水之地，我渴想你，我的心切慕你」
Create in me a new, clean heart, O God, filled with clean thoughts and right desires.—Psalm 51:10 (TLB)
You were created in the image and likeness of God. You were made for God’s fellowship, and your heart can never be satisfied without His communion. Just as iron is attracted to a magnet, the soul in its state of hunger is drawn to God. Though you, like thousands of others, may feel in the state of sin that the world is more alluring and more to your liking, some day-perhaps even now as you read these words-you will acknowledge that there is something deep down inside you which cannot be satisfied by the alloy of earth. Then with David, the Psalmist who had sampled the delicacies of sin and had found them unsatisfying, you will say, 「Oh God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is.」
How I long for You, God, yet so often my heart is drawn away from Your leading. Like David, I desire a clean heart.
上帝啊，我是如此渴慕你，我的心卻也常常偏離你的指引。我如大衛一樣，祈求一顆清潔的心。
奉主的名求，阿門！
